Rhodes Greece 2011

-

When I found out last spring (before I landed the job) that I would be going to Greece for a week... I was THRILLED... Greece.. is one of my all time favorite places on earth...  OK Santorini to be more exact... is one of my favorite places on earth...

But none the less I was headed for sunshine & Greece... sigh.. it was all good....

I worked a lot....during the week... but who can complain too much when your "office" looked like this?



The old town was AMAZING...




Open ALL night... for eating, drinking & shopping...


I was a VERY good girl & did NOT buy any jewelry... remembering all of the items I had bought during my previous trips to Greece....


I did however treat myself to this yummy red briefcase..... I looked all over the US this summer for a RED briefcase... & NADA... so I was thrilled when I found this in the Old Town... 
My co workers liked it so much... they each bought red ones too...  no worries.-- they live in different cities.


I really did work... a lot...  I think I had the last day  all to myself....  I took a boat trip to Lindos...
and had the chance to hang out with all sorts of neat ladies from all over Norway....
We laid out... we drank ... we sang...  we swam,  we saw the sights... what a wonderful day...

Fabulous... trip ....
more tomorrow....

We love Greece too! Our younger son's middle name is actually Rhodes-- we loved the city and someone (my hairdresser to exact, yes I know that's strange) threw the name out there when I was pregnant and I thought-- wow, how perfect, we love Rhodes and we love the name-- it's in!

Wow, amazing photos!

You have now forced me to put "trip to Greece" on my bucket list. You know, for when my kids are grown and I actually have a bit of time to myself :)

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
