SPAIN - la costa del sol

Spain was so fun! It was just Lance and I and it was great! We were there for 11 days, well, actually 9 because of travel time.
We flew in to Madrid, went to "El Parque Retiro" and spend the first night at the temple hostal. The next morning (Tues) we did a session in the Madrid Spain temple, it was awesome.

Then we caught the fast train to "costa del sol" the southern coast.

We stayed at the Marriott in Marbella, Malaga right on the Mediteranean Sea.

(thanks to State Farm :)

It was so gorgeous! Truly picture perfect! And the weather was great.

We took a walk on the beach just as the sun was setting - It was so relaxing to hear the waves splashing and know that we didn't have to be anywhere else accept- be togther, just him and I, in a little piece of paradise.

Our hotel was literally steps away from the beach!

After our walk we had dinner on the beach front cafe ""Cristina's"at twilight, this was our view. The next morning we had brunch on the hotel restaurant patio. I had gazpacho - yum!

Then we hit the beach! It was a beautiful day!

We played in the Sea and soaked up the hot Mediterranean sun rays.

Melanie,

It looks like you guys had a great time!! It is so beautiful there. I am so glad you were able to do that as a couple. I am sure you missed the kiddos, but it is so important to do things with just the two of you!!
