We Love SPAIN!

Jason and I just returned from an amazing week in Spain! It has been on our "places to visit" list for a while now. Some of our good friends (Christine and Fred) moved there three years ago and we have wanted to go visit, but with having a third baby and moving to Utah we kept putting the trip off. Well, Jason was invited to a conference in Seville, Spain so it finally was our time to go! We had a few days in Madrid, and a few days in Seville. No kids, no real schedule and lots of time to eat, explore and enjoy being together. It was just what we needed!! And I loved every minute of it. Some of our favorites parts of our trip in ESPANA: - Spending time with Christine and Fred - Discovering my new favorite dessert - churros con chocolate! - Eating our meals at outdoor cafes on the quaint Spanish streets - Enjoying olives before each meal - Joining in a Madrid city running race at Retiro park like we were locals - Visiting old churches, palaces and buildings with incredible architecture - Spanish tiles (awesome colors)! - Taking high-speed train from Madrid to Seville and seeing the beautiful countryside - Going to a bull fight - and realizing how gruesome those can be! - Sleeping in and staying up way too late! - Sitting by the pool in Seville while Jason was in his conference - Being with Jason (and no kids) for a week!

The time went way too fast, but I was ready to get home to my little girls. Not that they missed us much - they had a fun, young couple with their cute little boy staying with them that kept them entertained all day. And then my mom came in for the last few days and spoiled them. It is always so fun to go away, but even better to come home and be all together again. :)
