Greece

We took our last (for a while, probably) European vacation last week to Greece and Istanbul. We went with Andrew's little sister, Tiffany, and her friend Diana. It was a lot of fun.

After an unforeseen airstrike stranded us in Athens for a day, Ella was glad to finally arrive at our hotel in Mykonos. She also was glad that Diana brought a little stuffed bear, which she preferred to any of the toys or games that her own parents had provided her with.
Mom is ready for a nap, but Ella is ready for the beach.

Just some of the men who expressed admiration for Tiff on this trip.

We had six flights on this trip; probably not an itinerary we'll do again. But Ella really enjoys flying. She especially likes the "igrushki" that she usually gets from the flight attendants. Here she is modelling the lovely Aeroflot official orange hat and fingering the lovely official orange socks. It's a pretty ugly hat, but she still looks cute in it.
