Seth and I had a wonderful time in Barcelona last week! We were so thankful for a few days away! Although we were excited to see a new city we were really most excited about sleeping in, taking naps and NOT responding to Owen’s ups and downs at night. Ironically, our hotel was under construction. So, by our last night we downloaded an itunes noisemaker track and tried to get some sleep. Throughout the night we could hear the trash trucks come through the alley way and we heard people argue and laugh as they left a little restaurant around the corner. It was lively.

We enjoyed the sangria and tapas and we especially enjoyed the warm hospitality that Spain had to offer…of course knowing the language helped so much. We felt a bit old in Barcelona, it seemed so many people were young twenties. When did we get so old?!

We were able to fly from the small airport less than 10 mins from our home. It was amazing to avoid the trams, trains and crowds of people. And when we made it home we were really home we didn’t have another journey.

oh, before I forget, you may want to google a sangria recipe and get it a’steepin. I am including so many pictures that by the time you are through them your sangria will be properly steeped!  It can be your reward for this picture session. I promise to be back on here soon with something more useful!
