Madrid

As we travel a little more around Europe and Spain, I am always in awe of how beautiful the cities are. Moms flights was leaving from Sevilla early Monday morning with a very short layover in Madrid so we decided to drive up Sunday, see Madrid and not worry about the short amount of time she would have had to get from gate to gate.  

The drive to Madrid was long but beautiful and the city was just s beautiful.  Much like Paris, Montreal,  London, and San Fransisco (the only large cities I have really been to) they have beautiful buildings full of architecture and statues.  I love walking around seeing all of the buildings and what each city has to offer.  


We arrived later in the afternoon, walked around, grabbed a bite to eat, shopped a little, and headed to the hotel for as much sleep as we could before we had to get up and take mom to the airport.


 A fantastic place to stay...

 Aydin buying his own chestnuts... Yes in Spanish

I cannot believe 4 weeks came and past so quickly... we loved having mom here with us and hope it is not too long before she comes back again.  (That is only if we did not drive her crazy while she was here).


Oh- and in case you were wondering why Morgan and Liam were not in any pictures... We left them with a friend of mine and took Aydin by himself.  What a great time we had spending alone time with him.
