Barcelona : On Our Own

We survived the crazy traveling from Madrid to Barcelona and checked in to our little hotel room at Hotel Triunfo.  A good little place for a family on a budget! It felt safe, was right across from a gorgeous park, and far enough away from the crazy tourist spot of La Ramblas. We were also close enough to spend a couple hours at Barcelona Beach.  Spain is HOT in the summer!


For all the warnings of pickpocketing in Barcelona, I am happy to say that we made it out of there with all of our belongings! 


I found the Gothic Quarter so beautiful!

Bree is in this huge phase of saying "cheeeeese" (said with a toddler's lisp) with a scrunched up face. At least she is letting me take her photo!
