We are enjoying life in sunny, warm España right now. Rob went down to southern Spain for a week and we just joined him. We were too cheap to pay the enormous checked bag fee on Easy Jet, so I brought carry-ons for all the kids. This turned into a nightmare as Kari and I tried to maneuver around the Geneva airport and its multiple stairs and escalators. But we finally made it -- despite Natasha and Tyler escaping through the border control without any adult supervision!
Our rental car is huge -- a 9-seat Opel Vivaro. It definitely fits all 7 of us plus Rob's bike, but it is not fun to maneuver the manual shift. We immediately drove to Granada to see the Alhambra. Just seeing this, I think, was worth the entire trip.
Tyler checking out some of the buildings and happy to be outside!
Hi family!
Cuckoo!
Natasha in front of King Charles V's palace.
Natasha doing ablutions. I like this tradition.
The view of the old Moorish quarter of Granada.
Spirals.
Mommy and Anna at the reflecting pool.
It's hard to get everyone to participate in photos -- hair pulling, tongue sticking and Natasha has just run away.
The decor was magnificent.
Tyler is a bit tired of all the touring.
The 12-lion fountain.
Mariah the royal princess.
The ceilings and walls were covered with Arabic script and decor giving a "celestial" feeling to many of the rooms.
Mariah and Anna Claire with a view of the Alhambra in the background. Adios!
