We hopped a quick plane flight from Barcelona down to Marbella rented a car and we were off! Our first stop was the Alhambra. Unfortunately the tickets to go inside were sold out even given our efforts of trying to buy them in advance. I guess we will just never know what we missed out on! A bit disappointing though because we drove quite far and just hoped for the best. What do ya do? We did get the chance to walk around the grounds though.
The girls that took this picture were from San Francisco! What are the chances?!
Cody and Harv enjoying the view!
The boys enjoying the audio tour...we only got one so Harv was our tour guide.
Lara and I taking a break...
A little bit hot...a little bit done...
That night we went to dinner. It was VERY important to Cody and Harv that we find a good restaurant with a good view of the t.v. so they could watch the soccer game. They were getting into the true spirit of soccer. I don't think Cody's eyes left the t.v. the whole game!
The next day we spent the day at the pool/beach. It was perfect! Cody and Harv played frisbee on the beach for what seemed like hours and Lara and I laid out and were entertained by people doing water aerobics! Quite funny!
After we had our fill of the sunshine we got dressed and headed to old town Marbella.
It was full of winding streets and cute little shops.
A lot of the houses had flowers growing all over them. So pretty! It felt like the movies!
Me being a dork! : )
We came across an old castle up on the hill.
Stopped for a churro and hot chocolate. So good! The hot chocolate in Spain is so thick! So thick that we couldn't drink it so we shared one hot chocolate and just dipped the churro in. The ladies sitting next to us laughed at us while they drank it like water!
We found a little restaurant on the street to eat at that night. Harv raved about his pasta for the rest of the trip!
The next day we made sure to go to the Picasso museum in Malaga because the museum in Barcelona was closed. Driving in Spain was needless to say a bit...stressful. At one point Cody stopped the car in the middle of a busy street to refocus his thoughts, not minding a load of cars behind us!
We made it!
The Barenz's were excited to be there too!
Inside/outside of the museum. The building and grounds were really pretty.
We liked this street too!
Downtown Malaga...
Once we were done at the museum we had to catch our train to Madrid. We ended up making it to the train station a bit early so we had some time to kill. Cody and Harv discovered a bowling alley so Lara and I hit the shops!
On the train...
Next stop....Madrid!
