I'm back from Spain! A little review and pics...

We took a two week trip to Spain and we loved it! My advice is to make sure you stay in the old city part of wherever you go. In Madrid we stayed in the plaza espana at a Crowne Plaza hotel b/c it was a 5* hotel but it wasn't worth it to be away from the history (though it was right near the royal palace).

These are from Toledo:

these are the chains the Christian slaves hung on their church after the Moors were defeated and they were no longer persecuted:

Royal Palace and the Kings horses:

eogara- it was supposed to be b.c we didnt know we were going to like Punta Cana so much since it was so cheap (our whole honeymoon was 3k) but it turned out we loved it so this was just a second trip. We are going to try to visit Europe every year until we have kids!

this is the discoteca that we loved!!! (Evan's first club lol)

and christopher columbus's tomb

We climbed to the top of the tower in Seville which I highly recommend:
