This past weekend, we had the bros’ final long holiday weekend before the end of their second school year here in Madrid. We decided to spend the weekend hopping on a the high-speed train and to look for rentals and around various areas in the Costa del Sol! Now that the bros are enrolled in […]

#hosted by Flamenco de Leones; views are my own It’s my 40th birthday! What a wild thing to be living in Spain, with no end in sight, as I enter my 40s. I knew I wanted to do something special with my person, my husband Logan and friends who have become family here in Madrid. […]

We had a wond erful (quick!) weekend in Canet d’en Berenguer, a small Spanish municipality along the beach near Valencia/Castellón, Spain. This was our third time visiting a suburb of Valencia, although our family ironically has never visited Valencia City itself. We’ve spent long beach weekends in Denía and Javéa, both by the Mediterranean along […]

What a beautiful weekend we had in the north of Spain in Asturias! This area has been on the top of my list since we moved to Spain to see with so many people loving the look and feel of Asturias. It was a great chance to experience the area while Griffin’s Madrid futbol team […]

This month in Spain felt a little differently. After having settled into Madrid and the lifestyle of a high-rise apartment, walking to shops and restaurants and taking our puppy up and down an elevator daily, we began thinking longer-term in Spain. While there will always be factors in our lives that could lead to an […]

For the first time in maybe my life, I left Logan behind and took a quick 36-hour trip to a new area of Spain for the bros and I. This time, the trip was different than just sightseeing around Spain and there was purpose behind it: searching for secondary schools. Now that Landon is heading […]

Before we kicked off the holidays, we were thrilled to spend a weekend in the gorgeous city of Sevilla, Spain. In Andalucía in southern Spain, we spent a long weekend exploring the beautiful local sites and taking in the beauty of this charming city. Honestly, we didn’t know what to expect, but we were pretty […]

hosted by Señorio de Nevada; opinions are my own It had been close to a year since my last writing gig for a hotel. If you’ve been following along since my hotel writing days, that used to be my main focus when it came to family travel. However, since our move to Madrid, Spain and […]

We took our first trip by high-speed train in Spain to travel 2.5 hours from Madrid to Barcelona. By car, this would have took us about 6.5 hours. Choosing to take the high-speed train has opened our eyes to efficient ways to travel around Spain as we live out our goal of visiting all of […]

Wow! It is so hard to believe that one year has come and gone. Often times, our family thinks back to those first days after we just moved to Madrid. Some of the questions running in our heads were, What will we do for work now that Logan quit his IT Executive job in the […]
