Two Years Ago on DeliciousBaby

Two years ago, we took the kids to Barcelona, Madrid and Sevilla

It was the first big trip we did with both kids, and now that the specific details have faded from memory, I can safely say that we "enjoyed every minute." In all seriousness, though I'm sure the trip had its dramas and difficulties, it's the more pleasant memories that remain with me. We celebrated D's first birthday in Barcelona, realized how muc better train travel is than plane on the high speed train from Sevilla to Madrid, and even managed to enjoy the Alcazar, the Miro Museum and the Prado Museum with two kids under the age of three! My favorite memory by far has to be the look on E's face as he tried the IDEAL toddler food for the first time Churros and Chocolate at the best Xocolateria in Barcelona.

Does any of this sound appealing? Our city guides include our best tips and recommendations from the trip, and you'll find links to each of the old blog posts on the right hand side of each city guide.

    Does this sound appealing!? I want to take my kids to Europe soooo bad! I've seen them climb up and down the trains at the Chattanooga Choo Choo, be super bored (yet amazingly well behaved) in the courtyard of the Basilica at Talpa, sing and dance to amuse themselves on plane trips and yet I really want to see them run across the Champs de Mars and eat churros and chocolate in Barcelona and climb the Spanish Steps in Rome. Good thing they're still young and we still have plenty of world to discover ;-)

    Yes of course it sounds appealing and even more: The photo is so cute - thanks for sharing!

    This summer we took our just-about-to-turn 4 little boy to Barcelona as part of a three week trip around northern Spain. We stayed in a wonderful neighborhood outside the center called Poble Nou - we'll blog about it some time soon at darngoodigs. It had a mini-Ramblas that was very family friendly and felt "local", it was blocks away from the beach and a small playground, and a 10 minute subway ride to old town.

    @Elizabeth I think it's a good thing the world is so big - wouldn't it be sad if you got to 40 and thought "ok, now I've seen everything and I'm bored"

    @darngooddigs Great tip!
