Barcelona.

Last month we took our last big trip during our time here in Italy and it was definitely bittersweet.  We went to Barcelona and had a great long weekend.  It was pretty hot and crowded, but we still had a good time. 

Here's JJ waiting for the metro.  Both boys loved that we rode the train around so much while we were there.




This was an amazing fresh food market.  There was tons of seafood and most of it wasn't even dead yet!



We spent a few hours at La Sagrada Familia and it was gorgeous.  We were feeling a little spoiled though because this cathedral felt so young since it is less than 200 years old.  It was probably the newest cathedral we've seen since moving here!









Here's the view from the top of one of the towers.  They wouldn't let the kids go up, so only Brian got to go to the very top.  I got to stay at the bottom with crying JJ because he really wanted to go : (

  2. The cathedral is amazing- that spiral staircase; the outside of the building looks like it has ivy growing all over it. What is it? JJ looks so cool standing by himself at the train station. Lovely pictures. Love, FA
