We're going to Greece (well in cyberspace ; )

I am joining Holly from Mommy Holly and Heidi Ann from Foxgloves Fabric and Folly and going on a virtual vacation! Like this mother and daughter, we can't afford a real vacation this year because of skyrocketing gas and food prices, so we are gonna have a little fun and plan a dream vacation anyway LOL

We usually go to the Alabama coast for our annual vacation. We are beach people and there is nothing better than renting a condo on the beach and spending our days relaxing by the water. It is so soothing to just lay on the beach while the kids play in the water, I adore the sound of waves breaking on the shore.

So, I thought we would do what we love, just in a much more exotic location : D Also, instead of staying for our usual week, we will be staying for a month!



We will be traveling to Corfu, Greece!!!!!!

One of the Ionian Islands, northwestern Greece. With adjacent small islands, it forms the Corfu department (pop., 1995 est.: 108,000) of Greece; the town of Corfu (pop., 1995 est.: 36,000) is the departmental capital. Corfu occupies 229 sq mi (593 sq km). It was settled by the Corinthians c. 734 BC. Off its coast the first naval battle in Greek history was fought, between Corfu and Corinth c. 664 BC. About 435 BC it sought the aid of Athens against Corinth, precipitating the Peloponnesian War. A Roman possession in 229 BC, it later passed to the Byzantines, then to the Normans. It was ruled by Venice from 1386 to 1797 and was under British administration from 1815 until it was ceded to Greece in 1864. Germans and Italians occupied it during World War II. It is now a popular tourist destination and produces olive oil, figs, oranges, lemons, and wine.



I have ALWAYS dreamed of going to Greece. It looks like an amazingly beautiful place and my favorite cuisine is Greek.

First I had to find a place for my large family to stay. I figured a beautiful villa would fit the bill. This is a dream vacation, right? LOL This beautiful piece of real estate was perfect : D

This dramatic and sophisticated house is set directly on the sea amidst flower- filled gardens in Kommeno, the most exclusive area of Corfu. With state-of–the-art technology, it offers the comforts of a modern year-round home in the relaxing surroundings of this beautiful Greek Island.

A gracious laurel-limed driveway leads from the stone entry gates through over 11,000 square meters of professionally landscaped grounds to the main residence. In front of the house a traditional entry courtyard with fountain welcomes visitors.

It has five bedrooms, so plenty of room for all of my children. Plus look at this master bedroom!

Plus a gorgeous bathroom with a HUGE tub to relax in after a day at the beach. There is even room for dh to join me ; ) Oh, I forgot to mention that we are also bringing a nanny to help with the children, so we can go out to dinner and have some alone time : D




Dh loves to cook, so a huge gourmet kitchen was a must.


We also need lots of living space for our large family.

And a nice romantic spot for sitting in the evening.



A private pool with a spectacular view of the Aegean Sea is nice as well : )



We really love to just relax on our vacations, we aren't big into going alot. Which is why a beautiful place to stay is so important. This is where we would spend most of our time. Of course, you can't be in Greece and not go see some of the beautiful sites and do some shopping!








I hope y'all enjoyed coming with us on our Greek vacation : )
