Dear Grace, Faith & Hank,
Today was our first full day in Barcelona, and it was such a blast. We turned off our alarm and did our best to sleep in late, and if you can believe it, Daddy slept in until 11am, whereas your Mommy had to shake him to get him up so we could enjoy some of cool things that the city has to offer.
First, let's step back...did we tell you about dinner last night? I am pretty sure we had, but there was one point that daddy left out that we thought you would want to know...the first thing we ordered were grilled shrimp. That's not a big deal, right? Well, that's what we thought...that is, until they brought them out and they still had their heads with BIG. GIANT. BLACK. EYEBALLS! Yup they stared at us the whole time. Mommy made sure that they were looking at Daddy because it grossed her out. It was funny, and we laughed hard about that one for hours.
It rained and was very cold, and Mommy said, "I think I am going to die" about a million times. But, she had good reason. She didn't bring a warm jacket. Burrrrrr! After getting he a jacket we took a bus tour up to this big Church, it's actually called a Monastery WAYYYY up in the mountains called Montserrat. It was one of the coolest things that we have ever experienced. We spoke about each of you several times and said how much we thought that each of you would like it....you could see for miles! We lit candles, took pictures and hugged each other close as we walked because it was even colder up there! While we were there, we had the yummiest hot chocolate ever! Very rich, very hot and very yummy....it's the type of thing that you little rascals could drink all day. On top of that that we bought a giant sugar doughnut that was as tall as Hanky! We tore off pieces as dipped it in our hot chocolate. We ate every bit of it...well...your dad did...and mommy helped....a lot! :)
By the time we came back down the mountain from Montserrat, it was dark and rainy....so we found a nice restaurant close to wear the bus let us out, and then headed back to the hotel to rest until our adventure continues tomorrow!
We love each of you very much. You are our sunshine, and we love you. We love you more. We love you most. We love you more than anything.
Sleep tight!
Love, Mommy and Daddy
