Today was mostly a travel day. We took off on a JetBlue flight to Boston at 10:30 am. We had a quick layover in Boston, then a short flight to LaGuardia, which allowed us to get to the hotel at 5:30 pm. We relaxed a little bit at the hotel, before getting some NY Continue Reading
Another walking vacation…
With an exasperated sigh this was Lily’s reaction and ongoing complaint before our latest adventure to New York City and Washington DC. Thank goodness some of her friends told her they would rather go to NYC than Florida(where everyone else is going for spring break). I fell in love with Continue Reading
Sagrada Familia and Barca
On Sunday we woke up to rain, our only weather issue of the week. We had to switch hotels to the one I would be staying in for the rest of the week for work. With a taxi strike and Uber not in service we had no choice but to Continue Reading
Mountains and Flamenco
After a late night at the theater we got up early to go to Montserrat, which is a mountain about 40 minutes outside of Barcelona. It was higher than we expected, luckily we brought our winter coats, so we were fairly well dressed for the weather. We first toured the Continue Reading
Fat Tire Bike Tour Parte Dos
We loved the Fat Tire Bike Tour in Paris so much that we jumped at the chance to use the same tour company in Barcelona. Quite a bit colder (about 48 deg) and thus a much smaller tour group of just 6 (a very nice family from Perth, Australia joined Continue Reading
Barcelona Orientation
We left Minneapolis at 3:15pm on Wednesday January 16th and arrived in Barcelona on Thursday at noon after a 3 hour layover in Amsterdam. No issues with our travels, other than very limited sleep on the plane. We easily navigated the Barcelona airport and found our Uber driver for a Continue Reading
Not quite ready for Barcelona
Less than 24 hours until Matt and I get on a plane for Barcelona. We aren’t packed yet, but we did manage to find our passports. What more do we need?!
Bonus Post – Charlie Napping Collage
Charlie was a champ and could nap just about anywhere the stroller went or Mommy was. It remind us of Dr. Seuss. Can Charlie sleep on a plane, on a train, on a bus, on a boat, on a funicular, on a bike? Yep! Enjoy.
Day 10 – PARIS Part Deux
Today we went on the “Tour de Paris”. We scheduled a bike riding tour, but didn’t really research how long it would be or where it was going. As it turned out, it was a very comprehensive tour around the sights in the center of Paris and lasted 3.5 hours. Continue Reading
Day 9 – PARIS- Happy Birthday Charles!
Today’s trip to Paris started like most of our train travel, where our train car was on the train, but off limits. So we needed to go find another place to “squat” on the train. Luckily we found 5 seats relatively close together and only one of them were claimed Continue Reading
