This is the Nelson Family

Once upon a time they moved here:

One cold, winter day, the Clayton family decided to visit the Nelson family. They happily exchanged snow, skiing and temperatures in the 20s for sunshine, sightseeing and temperatures in the 60s. They ate yummy gyros, souvlaki, kabobs, yogurt with honey and galaktoboureko. Julie cooked Mexican food and shopped at the farmer's market so they could enjoy amazing strawberries and oranges. They did not venture into a McDonald's the entire time! They braved the crazy drivers, stray dogs (there are millions) and weird alphabet (with no GPS) to have another fun family adventure. Then sadly, after enjoying the Nelsons and watching Henry's cough and cold get the best of him, they boarded a flight to Geneva and were welcomed home by 17 degrees Fahrenheit.
