{Back to Reality}

...yeah, you can say that again! Corey and I got home from Santorini Sunday night only for me to get deathly ill!
I've been home from work the last couple days trying to recuperate. Ugh. 
I have so much to say about Greece. And so much to show you...
What I'll say for now is it was the most luxurious, indulgent, romantic, magical, awe-inspiring vacation we've ever been on. Not exaggerating one bit.
I thought Positano was it
And then Greece happened. 
sigh...
We will definitely be returning!
Here are some iPhone snaps to hold you over (even some non-instagrams!)
Captions at the end!

  3. So pretty - I love the idea of going to Greece but at the same time I don't handle the heat well so would have to go in Spring or Autumn maybe

  5. I can't even deal with these pictures! I've already sent this link to my boyfriend :) I've always wanted to go to Santorini, but this pretty much solidifies it! We most definitely will not spare anything when we take this vacay. Yes, when, not IF!

  6. My goodness - if these are just the iPhone photos, I can't even imagine what the others will be like!

  12. Ok, seriously my heart is pounding right now. These are breathtaking! That picture of Corey opening wine in the hot tub over looking the ocean & sunset actually made me laugh out loud because of how ridiculously amazing it looks. I am showing these to my husband tonight - this is now on the top of my list for places to go!

    Get well soon!!

  31. Your trip looks amazing! What gorgeous photos! Did you just look at the view and think "I can't believe this is my life"? I think that would be my thought. It doesn't even look like it's real!

    I had the chance to go a few years ago and I'm still kicking myself for not jumping on the plane!
