Back to Barcelona...

We made it back to Barcelona, which is where we were flying out of, and had one more day to spend in this fun city.  And it was a beautiful day!

 We decided to start off the day by walking down the La Rambla...this huge pedestrian shopping strip.  

 It was pretty crowded this day.  It was beautiful and cruise ships had docked.

 Does getting money out of the popular bank, make you popular?

hee hee!

 Gelato!

I will miss how they dress up their ice cream here.  Just as pretty to look at as it is yummy to eat!

 The flower stalls are what you look at on La Rambla.

Some of them have been in the same family for centuries.

 Monument to Christopher Columbus

 Barcelona's Port

 We even found a spanish mosaic on the beach

 Since this was our last day, and it was so beautiful, we decided to spend it on the beach.

The weather was warm, but the water was so cold.  The kids just waded and didn't really get in.

 They sure had lots of fun playing in the sand!

 Run Hunter, it's going to get you!

 We love the Beach!

Maybe, someday, we will live close to one again!

 The boys discovered how much they love being buried in the sand.

Every time they moved, and the sand cracked, they would yell "help me, help me", until one of the girls would run over and pat it down again.

 They also did some pretty awesome yoga moves while on the beach.

Beach and yoga...can't beat it!

 After the beach, it was still early, so we decided to try to find this pickle building (we started calling it that because it is shaped like a pickle, the kids thought)  we had seen pictures of, and seen from the view when we went to the Castille earlier in the week.  We wanted to see if it really was multi-colored like the pictures depicted at night.

During our walk, we cut through this famous Barcelona Park, Parc de la Ciutadella.  Guess who designed the fountain...that's right, our friend Gaudi!

 We finally found the Pickle building...in the business district...so it is a business building, not a pickle factory.  Although, I am sure it would make fantastic Pickles!  And it IS multi colored!  

I love Spanish Mosaics!

 As we headed back to the Metro to go back to our hotel, we caught this pretty sunset back lighting the Sagrada familia.

Barcelona, you treated my family well!

We were too tired to find a restaurant to eat at that night.  So we ordered room service and had a picnic in our Hotel room.

It was perfect!

A perfect ending, to a perfect Spring Break in Spain.
