Happy Birthday to meeee! Barcelona Bound!

It's my birthday and we are off to Barcelona! We took off wednesday night so we could get henri down when we arrived. Then have a fresh start thursday morning to see the city. Ahh traveling with a baby is so different these days.

Our apartment was great. Tons of space, including a very long hallway to run back and forth on to wear out henri crawling after us. It also had a great view of the Segrada Familia.


Thursday we started out walking over to las ramblas. On the way there you run into some very unusual architecture with Casa Batllo.

We walked through the gothic quarter and down las ramblas. We stopped in first at La Boqueria to get some lunch and pick up food to take to our apartment later. We had some great seafood and veggies at a restaurant inside.




After we all ate lunch we kept walking down till we hit water at Port Veil.


After port veil we walked back through the gothic quarter to see the interesting architecture. It's so erie in that section of town. I wish we could have seen it at night but Henri was so tired and crabby by the end of the day.


Our last stop of the night was La Boqueria again, where we picked up the entire 4 days worth of veggies for 3.80 euros. A huge difference from the price of veggies in Switzerland. We got a quick snack at a shop in La Boqueria before heading home. Around the heading home time every night is when Henri would throw a fit and be tired of sitting in his stroller. So we had to carry him a lot on our long walk back.
