Hangin' with family in Madrid and Villalba , Spain

The whole gang !

We all played in the creek.
"Come on in, the water's fine!"
"Hi everybody!"
Brothers
Hey Al, this rum and coke is for you.
And so is this one...
And even the guy from the coke commercial is having one for you Al!
An afternoon in Madrid.
Our final night a O' Barquiño


Mardid was a wonderful week. We stayed between Mike and Maria's home in Villalba and Paloma's parents home in Madrid. Reuniting with everyone after wandering the globe was great. We are so glad that Mark, Paloma, Laura and John could come down too! It was one of the best visits to Madrid, without a doubt. We all (the whole gang!) spent one day picnicking outside of Madrid by a small creek in green, soft grass. It was a beautiful day spending time together in the sun while the kids ran throughout the tall grass and played in the creek - the big kids too. It's pretty cool when after traveling for so long and seeing so many amazing places that we're still having highlights and days unrivaled. That day was surely one of them. Thank you everybody for coming together and of course for all of the hospitality. It was so good to see you again.

  1. Hey Ashlei, Mark and Brian - thanks for honoring me with with your rum and cokes. Truly a great sidewalk cafe memory from my short time in Madrid. Looks like a great time with family. It's really great that Mark and Paloma and family were able to come down for the week...Al
