Beaches in Barcelona

The day after Christmas we packed up the car and headed to Barcelona looking for some warmer temperatures. After 7 1/2 hours of driving we arrived in the rain and wondered if we had made a very good decision. Luckily, the rest of our trip was beautiful and warm (ok warm compared to Switzerland). We promised the kids that this wouldn't be a huge sightseeing trip and so we did a lot more activities that sounded fun to them. We had a great time and loved Barcelona. Our only complaint: restaurants finish serving lunch around 4:30pm and don't open for dinner until 8pm. Not too great for a family who usually eats around 6pm. Let's hear it for the States who keep their restaurants open all day!

Our first full day there was clear and beautiful so we headed to the beach. We took off our shoes, rolled up our pants and dipped our feet in the Med for the first time.

You wouldn't know it from this picture, but...
...Henry is missing his pants!
He didn't follow instructions and soaked them in the waves.
After our time at the beach we stopped for a little ice cream
