OUR TRIP TO SPAIN

I can't imagine how this happened. Just "yesterday" we were 20ish, going to college, getting married, and starting our family and career. How did we get from there to HERE? Although I am a few years behind Joe turning 60, it still stings a little to know that we are definitely on the downhill slide of our lives! It has gone so fast. We are so blessed to have had the opportunities we have had, to have a wonderful family and the gospel of Jesus Christ in our marriage. It seems like this truly is the best part of our lives, now that we have some quiet time together and chances to travel. To celebrate all of that and more, we jetted over the ocean and landed in the Canary Islands and then on to Barcelona. It always takes a lot of planning and backup plans, but it was well worth it. Here are some of our favorite pictures of our trip. We stayed on the island of Gran Canaria in the southern part, at Anfi BeachClub. It was spectacular. The salt water pool was just beautiful, and we spent a lot of time there, reading and relaxing. We were right on the ocean as well. There were lots of activities at the resort which we took advantage of: water aerobics, yoga, flamenco dancers at night, etc. Two days we drove around to other parts of the island. When we left there, we flew to Barcelona and enjoyed our time there, for the most part. The pickpockets were everywhere, and attempted us twice. Unnerving. We enjoyed the Gaudi architecture so much. What a great trip it was!
