Greece Vacation Series- Part 1: Athens

In May I took a fabulous trip with two girlfriends to a bucket list destination- Greece!  As always, I took a ton of photos, so this begins a series of Greece blog posts to share our incredible journey to Athens, Mykonos and Santorini! Our first stop on our Greek adventure was in Athens.  We had some amazing meals- the first night overlooking the Acropolis was beautiful!  I definitely enjoyed the local Ouzo liquor, but it's not for everybody!

The highlight of Athens was definitely the magnificent Acropolis.  We took our trusty taxi driver's advise and waiting until early evening to go- when the sun was going down and the cruise ships were gone!  It made for incredible light for photography and it wasn't too hot!

Day at the Salamander Spa!

It was a perfect day to celebrate my dear friend Jackie's birthday at the Salamander Spa in Middleburg, VA!  It was an absolutely gorgeous venue and the spa was simple amazing.  I could have spent all weekend there!  I highly recommend it for just a day or for longer!  The staff and services are top notch! a
