Pics from Spain (long overdue)

Rachel survived her first international trip to Spain! She had a great time -- loved the paella, flamenco dancing, and of course, everything about the beach (especially playing with her buddy Sadie and putting sand in her hair).

We had a great time with our friends the Donnelly's who made it a really special trip. Here are some of the highlights:

Jet-lagged babies getting a bedtime story from Rob...
Celebrating Susan's birthday by the pool at the villa and out in the town of Soller...
And of course, discovering a new beach every day. Rachel led the way...
We visited Miro's studio in Cala Major, Mallorca...Here are the girls waiting patiently for their churros...
The Port of Soller at sunset on our last day in Mallorca...
And then after a relaxing week, we were in Barcelona...where we toured the Picasso Museum, Parc Guell, Las Ramblas, Sagrada Familia, and as much as we could cram into 4 days...

And then we spent a few hours in Madrid's El Retiro before returning home...

We're happy to be back and finally unpacked. Now we just need to get the pictures developed...
