Bubbe and Grandpa

At the end of April, we got some very special guests to come and visit us for 3 weeks.  Joe's parents decided that they have missed Aria and us too much to wait till we got back from our voyage, so they booked a flight and came our way. They have never been to Poland before and fell in love with Krakow as much as we did 11 years ago.  We all were so happy to spend time with them, and Joe and I went on more than a fair number of dates while Aria got some special got some special Bubbe and Grandpa time :)  We didn't do too much traveling, but we did visit Sandomierz and Kazimierz Dolny, two beautiful towns east of Krakow.  We also went to my home town for a few days so they could meet my family.  Joe took his parents overnight to Zakopane, a town in the foothills of the Tatra mountains.  We all had a wonderful time together and we were sad to see them leave.  Here are a few pictures from their visit.
