We got up early today. Like 8:00am 🙂 Off to the train station to go to Girona! We rode on the high speed Refe train and it only took about 1/2 hour to get there. Once we were there it was about 1/2 mile walk from the train station to the bridges that separate “new…
This is how we feel about La Sagrada Familia.  UNBELIEVABLE! Rusty: Hands down, this is the best thing in Barcelona.  We parked our scooter and walked in. I knew some about it, but not tons. And literally my breath was taken away. I’ve never seen such a beautiful building. The columns. The sunlight streaming in…
This day was a lot of walking in a lot of heat! We roused ourselves from bed and it was time to hit Barcelona’s newest modern attraction, La Hospital de Something to me. Or, Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau, to everyone else. Designed by LluĂs Domènech i Montaner, the same guy who did Palau Musica. It…
This day in Barcelona might go down as the most epic vacation day EVER. I cannot even believe all the amazing things we were able to squeeze into one day. It all started at a pastry shop. Forn Boix to be exact. We were looking for a great Nutella croissant we had read about. The…
(Reminder that Rusty doesn’t use capitals or punctuation. Â Sorry) We were pretty tired and slept later than we thought. We woke up and rushed out the door to experience Barcelona. It was hotter than we thought. Tara wore her cute blue and white dress and the best part was a built in bra which meant…
The temps in Madrid were already miserable by 9am. We ate gross free hotel breakfast at the restaurant next door and paid to add a couple eggs for some protein. Instead what we got was a lot of oil and a little egg. Uggg. Oh well. Our last stop in Madrid was the Reina Sophia….
Due to going to bed so early the night before, we were up by 5am. But neither of us had slept great. We talked in bed for an hour and then went back to sleep till 9. At least Rusty went back to sleep. I stayed up and listened to him snore. Once we were…
Rusty and I divvied up blogging about Spain. So about half is his perspective, half mine. My parents and Carlie were not driving home until Monday morning. Can I tell you how wonderful it was to leave the kids packing and picking up the house to them? Seriously—it was wonderful. I’ve never had a less…
Blake chose to go to San Diego area for his 8 year old trip. Â I think it was a perfect fit for him and we had a great time together. Our first day was supposed to be a beach day. Â Mother Nature had other plans. Â “Sunny San Diego” did not apply to our trip. It…
We had such a fun trip to Santa Fe with my parents. Â They told us they were going down there and I said how our family had been wanting to go for awhile. Â So, being the kind hearted people they are, they let us come crash their vacation and stay at their condo. Halle had…
