Wild Week con familia todos











It's been a wild week... Rota, Cadiz, Arcos de la Frontera, Ronda, Bullfight, ferry and everyone together (well in 2 cars). We've traveled, driven and walked and walked and walked. We saw the horse races at Sanlucar but the ball buried in the sand was more fun. We sat on the Cathedral steps at Cadiz. We looked at the Nuevo bridge at Ronda. The bullfight we saw in Puerto was amazing and the bull was spared because he was so brave (they sent the cows into the ring to bring him out). We enjoyed the beaches everywhere. We went swimming where Halley Barry swam as the Bond girl (recognize the castillo?) The white buildings in Arcos were amazing and the Nuns cookies too. MLM finally said "this is NOT the vacation I had planned". Sooo we let them sleep in. We aim to please! Next we went to Gibraltar and could see our car parked in Spain from the top of the Rock. AAM was thrilled with the red double decker buses. We are heading to Morocco tomorrow! It's been a trip and a half. A birthday celebration & cake for Marissa tonight. M and C have enjoyed the night life in Rota too. We've lit the firepit in the backyard and had smores. We've watched a little of the Olympic highlights. We've used the TomTom to get us to all the sights. M follows B and her Rota beater barely keeps up. We feel like we're in a Flintstone car... but my radio gets the AFN station and KissFM so I have English songs. Here are some pictures of our family fun. It's loud, busy, dirty and crazy fun with everyone together. I leave Tuesday to fly to the States to check C into VMI. Details to follow... love to you all.

Ok...cancel out my earlier post on your family photo in front of the water. This family photo should be your Christmas Card picture. It is fantastic!
I'm glad that all of you have had a fantastic time together in Spain.
And belated happy B-Days to the Bill, Meryl and Marissa.
