The Nelson Five: First Port of Call

First Port of Call

Our first destination was Paros, one of the islands in the Cyclades. Here we are tendering to the mainland:

Our crew ready for a day of exploring:

Loved the traditional whitewashed homes set against the brilliant blue sky and striking purple vines:

Such a lovely area to stroll through:

Following a delicious, traditional cycladic lunch, we opted to see the rest of the island via ATV:

Found a nice little beach to enjoy for the afternoon:

Welcome

I began this blog in 2008 as we picked up and moved our family from Dallas, Texas to London, England as a result of a fabulous job opportunity for my husband. My primary goal was to stay in touch with family and friends as well as begin an online family photo album to preserve our precious memories. With 3 young boys at home and life moving at a breakneck speed, I found that by taking even a few moments to capture a thought or a photo or a memory from our day provided a much needed outlet and a place to be a bit more intentional and present. Our family enjoyed every single moment of our two years in London before a new role was offered to my husband which also required a relocation, this time to Boston, Massachusetts. We settled in Wellesley in September of 2009 and loved life in our teeny-tiny Norman Rockwell New England town. After 4 fabulous years in Boston, our family relocated yet again, this time back to Dallas. We feel so fortunate to have been given these amazing opportunities to live and visit and experience life in different places and we certainly look forward to many more adventures!
