2011 - What A Year!


As we kick off 2012, we’re reminded how amazing 2011 was for us, personally.  We’re excited about what 2012 has in store, but we wanted to take a moment to reflect back on some of the personal events that made 2011 such a great year for us.  Enjoy our 2011 retrospective, in photos…

The first big huge event of 2011 was our engagement in February, followed by our wedding in May.

She said yes!!!

After our wedding, we embarked on our honeymoon in Greece.  Greece was one of the best travel destinations either of us have ever experienced.  Our honeymoon started out in Athens (click for more photos)...

... followed by the island of Mykonos...

The next 2011 life-changing event for us was purchasing our home, which we absolutely love!

And finally, we welcomed a new member of the family - our nephew, Hayden.

Our Honeymoon In Greece, Pt. 4 - Crete


Travel & Fine Art Prints Available

Here’s part 4 (view part 1, part 2, or part 3) and the conclusion of our honeymoon in Greece series.  After a few days in Santorini, we took yet another high-speed ferry to the island of Crete, the largest of the Greek Islands.

We only had a couple days in Crete, which given its size, isn’t nearly enough time.  You could easily spend a week just on Crete.  What we did see was a far cry from what we saw in Mykonos and Santorini.  The area we stayed in and explored was much more urban and less touristy.  Overall, it was a great contrast to the other islands.

While there are fewer photos in this post, you’ll still have to view the full post to see all the photos.  Enjoy!

In hindsight, we couldn’t have picked a better locale for our honeymoon.  Hopefully we’ll get a chance to go back one day.

Our Honeymoon In Greece, Pt. 3 - Santorini


Here’s part 3 (view part 1 or part 2) of our honeymoon in Greece series.  After a few days in Mykonos, which was probably the highlight of our trip, it was time to take another high-speed ferry to the island of Santorini, our home for the next few days.

Santorini was the reason we wanted to take our honeymoon in Greece.  When people think of Greece, they’re probably thinking of Santorini; it’s an iconic locale.  While our time spent in Santorini was amazing, the lesser-known Mykonos was more appealing to us overall.  For us, if Mykonos were a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10, Santorini would be a 9.

Again, there’s 50+ photos in this post, so you’ll have to view the full post to see all the photos.  Enjoy!

Stay tuned for Pt. 4 - Crete.

Our Honeymoon In Greece, Pt. 2 - Mykonos


Here’s part 2 (view part 1) of our honeymoon in Greece series.  After a few days in Athens, we took a high-speed ferry to the island of Mykonos, where we would spend the next few days.  Although we were most looking forward to our visit to Santorini (coming up in part 3), Mykonos turned out to be our favorite of the Greek Islands we visited.

Again, there’s 50+ photos in this post, so you’ll have to view the full post to see all the photos.  Enjoy!

Stay tuned for Pt. 3 - Santorini.
