Spain

[I started this posting at the beginning of January and it's been holding me up. Sorry it's taken so long.]

We just got back from an amazing trip to Spain. This year, Shiloh and I had planned to take a little graduation trip. When our families heard about our plans we all decided to scale back on presents and spend Christmas money on a fun group trip. Both of our parents and four of our siblings were able to joing us. It was pretty funny to watch the 10 of us parade around such narrow streets. We were so happy that everyone was able to come. We now have halarious memories to laugh about for years!
