Beautiful Gijon, Spain

Kendall, Bryan, Bryce and I woke up early one morning to hop on the bus and we headed for the beach city of Gijon.  This city was about 45 minutes North East of Oviedo.  We spent the day walking around the city, enjoying the views  and just basking in the gorgeous weather.  This was one of the prettiest cities I have ever been to.  The city sits right on the northern coast of Spain and we couldn't have asked for better weather while we toured around.

Check out those palm trees!

There was a mix of medieval with modern.

Boardwalk

Medieval Castle

Kendall taking the stairs right into the ocean.

Love the cliffs.

Sister picture time.

Walking past a cannon is normal.

I couldn't get enough of the views.

Look at all that color.


We made it to Cerro de Santa Catalina.  It's a park at the top of the city that has the most amazing view.

This is called "Praise of the Horizon"

Cute family shot

We hung out for awhile after our "hike" up to the top.

Bryce must have been exhausted from sitting in his stroller.

Admiring the view.



One thing I love about Europe are all the old churches you see. 


We happened to run across a marathon.  We were not participants!

Brycey loves dogs.

One of my favorite shots I took the whole trip.

You can never have too many family shots.

She looks like such a European.

Loved all the architecture.

The city was still so festive.  


Beautiful sunset.

We were told this was an old theater.  

Starting him early!

He was giggling so hard and all I was doing was swinging him back and forth while waiting for our bus to head back to Oviedo.  What a wonderful day!

Playing the day away! Spain continued

This post is a picture overload of Bryce.  I was in Spain for 10 days and I think I took over 1,000 pictures.  These are just a few that made the cut.  Most of our days were spent hanging out around the apartment, going to the park and on walks.  I would say had a camera on Bryce most of the time.  I just can't get enough of him!  Can you blame me? :)

This face just kills me!

Bryce was so close to walking while I was there.

Trying to get him to take a step.

Little Monkey!

Just reading his books.



He wasn't really interested in this toy.

He sure loves to swing.

Love this little boy.

I love to play at the park, too.

My little buddy.

Bryce isn't too sure about the slide.

He survived the slide!

This is a park that was down the street from their apartment.

So pretty.

All bundled up for his walk.

Helping with the laundry.  Such a big helper!

Back at it with the swing.

The park at night.

I discovered a video that he would actually stop and watch.

He would crack up while watching.

Intrigued.  It must be that good because he doesn't sit still for anything else.

His Aunt Jennah can't get enough of him.

Pretty sunset

View from their window.  Look at all that laundry.

Who knew Tweety Bird was in Spain!?!

Brycey loved his new balloon.

Sisters

That face cracks me up!

Photo shoot on our evening walk.

Cute little family!

Who knows, but I thought that I needed to climb up on this horse.

And he likes chocolate...

...A lot!

My initials, so it must be my bar!

Getting ready for bed!
