K’s Weekend in Santorini

What were you grateful for this week? This week I was grateful for A3!!!

What was the most challenging part of this week?

This week was challenging because I realized on Wednesday that my weekend trip to Greece was booked wrong. I went to fix it and buy a different flight and the company did not accept Discover cards, and my visa has a temporary hold on it. A3 saved my whole entire trip by helping me figure out my flights and my card situation.

Tell us about a “wow” moment you had this week. We all made homemade pizza together! It was great bonding and everyone did their part to make a yummy dinner. 

Tell us about your week!This week with the girls was very relaxed. They had a summer camp during the day and so I only saw them in the afternoons. I mainly just did homework and watched netflix while they were gone. I realized the tv series I am watching on Netflix is only on Italian netflix, not USA’s so I have 16 days to watch 47 more episodes. It’s doable lol. 

Anyway, when I did have the girls they had tennis lessons and dentist appointments all week. It is fun to be a part of their lives and do what they would be doing even if I wasn’t here. This weekend was the weekend I had been looking forward to the most. I went to Greece! Athens and Santorini. I had always dreamed of going to Greece and seeing it in person was amazing. I went with A3, S3, J2 and A5. Growing up reading about Greek mythology and then going to the acropolis was a dream come true. Then Santorini and its white and blue buildings were incredible. Santorini also has a black sand beach we went to. The water was cold but worth it. It was a whirlwind 54 hours sleeping only 3 hours each night. I would not change it though! I definitely want to go back because two days just isn’t enough.
