Often Tim will call Michelle at work, and the conversation goes something like this:
Tim - "Hey, babe, want to go to [fill in the name of any given country]? We can get tickets for [insert ridiculously low price here]"
Michelle - "Sure, when?"
Tim - "[indicates a date that clearly isn't practical since Alex is in school and Michelle works]"
Michelle - "Yeah, no babe, I can't take time off then and Alex is in school"
Tim - "Man, you never want to do anything fun"
Except that last April he actually had dates that would work with Alex's week long fall break. And so Michelle said yes and here we are, the evening before boarding a plane for a week to Madrid. We can bring only small carry-on bags, so we each have the equivalent of Jansport backpack filled with clothes. It is a little liberating to be forced into a smaller bag than we usually bring. Needless to say, we won't be bringing back many souvenirs!
We booked a hotel about an hour ago for the first two nights, and then we will see where the Spanish wind takes us. Maybe Toledo, maybe Seville, who knows! We are all pretty excited get out there, show Alex another part of the world and continue practicing our Spanish. And Alex is a little excited that the first hotel has an indoor pool. :) Seven year olds!
More to come on the flip side.
