"Babe, twelve Greek gods used to live here. Twelve, he emphasized." Fulfilling yet another one of Mark's childhood dreams, we chucked the kids into the car and went to hike around Mount Olympus. An easy drive just over an hour outside Thessaloniki, we missed breakfast and lunch but dared to creep up the road since the kids fell asleep, hoping the only hangry person Mark would have to deal was me.
Mark all but fell out of the car when we arrived at the trailhead eager to get a closer look at the mountain. It was worth it alone to see the look on his face as he took Deets by the hand talking about the Titan Wars and stories of Homer. Afterwards we took the obligatory dip in the sea, something eagerly anticipated for another check in my travel book.

| Ha ha! No gasping for air this time around. |
 |
| View from the Aegean Sea. |
 |
| 83,000 sq. mi worth of sea. |
 |
| Finding pre-historic carrots on the beach. |
 |
| 50 degrees of chill never bothered him. |
 |
| Like a kid in some kind of store. |
