Aach! I have been out of touch with the blog for the past month. Things have been crazy and have changed for us quite a bit over the past month - but - before I get to all that I wanted to update some of the other stuff we had going on in October. The most important thing - Mom and Dad came to visit!
Yep - those are the parents, chillin' outside of the Royal Palace amid some statues. We had a great time!! Mom and Dad only had about 6 complete days for sightseeing in Spain, but I think we hit all the hot spots over the course of their visit.
The best way to see as much as possible is the MadridVision bus which is always our choice when visitors are in town. Mom and Dad thought it was a great way to get an overview of the city:
We hit all the hotspots in Madrid - the Royal Palace, the Prado, Puerto Del Sol, Plaza Mayor - and we took an afternoon to visit the Retiro, which I think was one of Mom's favorite spots:
I think Mom got some good photos - she was clicking away on the camera like crazy!
We also did a day trip to Toledo which meant a ride on the train and some sight seeing in the beautiful old city center:
Despite the hectic pace, I think Mom and Dad had a good time and hopefully will be ready to take on another overseas adventure soon! We really enjoyed visiting our favorite spots in Madrid with them.
I'll post about all of our big changes next! In the mean time - Hasta luego!
