Barcelona Auggie was a fantastic traveler the entire duration of the trip, and that started with a nice little nap on the evening flight over to Barcelona. We arrived Monday morning and hit the ground running, meeting Tammy and checking into our airbnb. It was on the top floor and had an amazingly balcony with views of the city, sea and Sagrada Familia. We spent the day walking and exploring the Eixample and Gothic neighborhoods. We all were able to quickly get over jet lag which was a relief. The next day we had reservations for Sagrada Familia - what an incredible space. We then got Churros, enjoyed some tapas with Tam and walked the el Born neighborhood and harbor areas of the city. We sadly had to say good bye to Tammy on Wednesday but Justine came in later that afternoon! We went up to Park Guell which was the only underwhelming thing of the trip. Friday morning we picked up our rental car are were off to Cadaques! CadaquésOn our way to Cadaqués we stumbled upon the most beautiful winery so naturally we had to stop and sample. Cadaqués is a stunning town, and our airbnb there was soooo perfect. It was right on the water above two gelato shops and a HUGE balcony that overlooked the main street. It was prime people, beach and boat watching. There wasn't much to do in Cadaqués besides eat, explore and spend time on the water. Some of the notable meals we had were at Restaurant Gula and Compartir, but everything we had was fantastic. The last full day there we went up to France to drop off Justine and explore the town of Perpignan. Auggie was a great traveler on the return flight, with the worst experience of the trip being the 2.5 hour line for customs in Chicago. Overall we couldn't have asked for a better first international trip with Auggie.

School is just getting out, but we've been having some Summer adventures already. We had a nice visit with Aidan and Izzy, toured Elyse's students art show, planted flowers, went to a train museum, celebrated the twins Birthday, rode on a train at Grandma's, went camping in Nana's backyard and watched a parade. Not to bad, but Summer is just getting started. |
