After flying in to Athens and then taking a Sea Jet to Mykonos, our next stop on our two week Greek adventure, was Paros. We once again hopped on a Sea Jet and spent an almost two hours scooting across the Agean Sea to our next island. I was particularly excited about Paros because it's…
Jason and I taking an obligatory photo "for the 'gram" in Old Mykonos Town Early morning in Athens. This was our first Sea Jet. We arrived about two hours early and the line was already queued up.

For Christmas, Maizy and I took an overnight trip to San Francisco to go with her ballet school (and mom's) to see the San Francisco Ballet and a performance of the Nutcracker. It was a magical overnight stay at the Royal Sonesta Hotel right in Union Square. The tree was still up, the macaroons were…
