Granddad (Justin’s Dad) arrived on Monday with his girlfriend Teresa. We’ve had a nice couple of days hanging out and plan to go to Turkey tomorrow as it is very close to Rhodes. I’m counting on my Father-in-Law to do some good bargaining for me with the Turks.

Hanging Out With Granddad

Granddad and Teresa have been great playmates for Ms. Stella and helped out a lot with her so her Dad and I could get some work done and have a little time alone. That’s the one thing about this trip that we didn’t really think about. We don’t really get any breaks or alone time except when Stella is asleep. But to be honest, we miss her so much when we aren’t with her…we are quite pathetic actually.

Justin and I actually hiked up the mountain behind our villa. Every time we’d get over one crest we’d see another one and kept going. Worth the effort as we had some great views.

Granddad also brought us 2 new tires for the Mountain Buggy so we have all new tires now. Hopefully (fingers crossed) we won’t have any more problems. For all those with Mountain Buggies or plan to get a Mountain Buggy if you will be a very hot climate keep the PSI to 17-18, not the recommended 20. This will allow for the inner tube and tire to swell. Since we figured out the air pressure thing and the heat has let up a bit we haven’t had any more problems.

Granddad's Little Helper

A note on the Greeks. Such nice people (for the most part). We went back to one of our favorite villages and restaurants last night, Roula’s in Lardos. We wanted to show Granddad and Teresa how nice the village people were and the restaurant workers. They absolutely love Stella and remembered us from our previous visit. All the waiters kept coming by and giving Stella kisses and picking her up. It was very sweet.

Granddad and Teresa leave on Saturday night and my Dad arrives on Sunday.
