The Lobazo and Flamenco

​Today in Madrid we’d planned to go to the Palace, but a surprise rainstorm foiled those plans. Instead, we went to the Chiefs House and hung with other Chiefs fans - including one from Mallorca, Spain who has been a Chiefs fan for 10 years and is also a Royals fan. She has a dream to come to KC to go to the games and has heard it’s “the most beautiful city in the U.S.” 🤷🏻‍♀️ Note: the NFL game is Washington vs Miami but they have a few of these gathering spots for other NFL teams - Chiefs and Jags that we know about. 

We sat under umbrellas at a cafe and had tapas while it rained (Nate got a little wet). 

And we went to a Flamenco show that started at 10:30 pm 😳 (on the day I flew in from Chicago 😳😳). It was unlike anything we’ve seen or heard. Super cool, and I’m so grateful to Carlie for recommending it. She and I had sangria, and we all agreed the music was like acapella but through clapping and dancing, along with the guitar. So cool.

What if your kids don't like water?

I remember vividly driving home down I-435 one day in 2003. I was pregnant with Brayden and talking to Karen on the phone. Just before I hit the Grandview Triangle, Karen says, "So what are you going to do if the baby doesn't like the water?" Now let me pontificate for just a minute. This is what I love about our dear friends. They call it like they see it. No holds barred. If your best friends can't be straight up with you, then who can? I know that many people don't understand this, for instance, the time Shawn told me I was not holding off my baby weight very well (in fact, I was pregnant with Beau and Shawn just found out). And Karen trying to help me come to grips with the reality that I may have children that don't like water. . . So I remember that day my immediate and very matter-of-fact response was, "That's not an option." Seriously, people, can you imagine Nate and me having kids who DON'T like the water? It's a way of life f...

Heading across country

The boys giggle in bed. Nate checks directions for tomorrow. And I update the blog. We fit our family roles to a tee. Tonight we are in Jackson, Mississippi (M-I-SS-I-SS-I-PP-I). Brayden knows how to spell Mississippi. We're more than half way toward our final destination of Destin, Florida. If all goes well we'll be there by just after lunch tomorrow. Every day for the past three months Beau has asked if today is the day for vacation. And today was the day! My dad was absolutely as excited as Beau. I hear he (Dad) hasn't slept well in two nights just thinking about it. Those two are like two peas in a pod. I can't wait to get to the condo and for them, Brayden, Mazy and Ele to head off to the beach. How much fun there is waiting for us. So I'll try to post some while we're away. I don't know if I'll have a connection. I sooo miss working at Sprint in times like this. It's hard to live without an air card once you get used to being always connected. ...
