Spain...

My older brother Sean and his family have been living in Madrid, Spain for over 2 years. With the fear that they may soon be transferred, my family visiting there from NY and Brad needing some time to focus on MBA applications I decided last minute to make a trip over there! It was amazing. This was my first trip to Europe. and what a great place to start!
My sister-in-law Kelly and niece Shannan (seen in pics above) were great tour guides. Kelly was a great driver and navigator (with a little help from Tom Tom) and Shannan was a great translator.

I have so many great memories but some of the highlights of my trip were:

• Spending time with Sean, Kelly, Shannan, Connor, Erin and Liam
• Late night TV with Shannan
• Toledo
• My adventure to Salamanca
• Food: Our bargain Lunch at the Castle, Jamon and Lentahas
• Open Markets
• Francos Tomb( see the huge Cross)
• “Me llamo Earl” with Kelly
• Three Kings Parade
• The steal game with My mom, dad, brothers and the McDevitts

Not so favorite memories from the trip:

• Spanish drivers
• The olives taste funny
• The black cat in Salamanca
• Jet lag
• 26 hour trip home
• Missing Brad

My brother and his family our so very generous and patient! Thanks for making my trip soooo amazing.
