The primary reason we missed it was because taking a baby to the festival just did not sound fun to me. I am usually up to packing Finnley to almost every event but the Greek Festivals are different.

The Greek Festivals is a day long event in my mind. I want to stay and watch it all. Take in the whole experience.
I am already planning next years visit. Finnley will be older and can stay with a baby sitter, her older sister or come with us and nap at the festival.
To keep myself happy I made this Greek Salad with a nice greek yogurt dressing. I love feta cheese and any type of olive. The addition of crunchy cucumbers paired with the noodles is simply enjoyable.
I hope your summer is off to a great start.
ENJOY!
