Parador Sept 14-16

Wow! We left to drive down to the Parador and what a trip. We got stopped on the interstate for over 2 hrs. When I say stopped, I mean we got out of the car and other people around us had a picnic! We finally got going again (apparently there was a protest going on) and then added 3 hrs to our trip because the GPS took us 1.5 hrs too far...argh! Try asking for directions in a different language! Despite it all the kids did well, it was Josh and I that were bitter. As long as we stop at playgrounds they are fine. :) Our car trip took 11 hrs. Luckily we got to our castle right before dark and it was fantastic! So nice we decided to stay here 2 nights and not go to Sevilla. We have rested, played in the castle's pool and playground and eaten good food!

Forgot to mention that Josh pushed the car to back up at first. We couldn't figure out how to put it in reverse...ha! And Ty has kept us laughing, he thinks the guy from Star Wars is Obie Kanobie #1.

Tomorrow is suppose to be a 6 hr trip to the beach for 4 days, so hopefully it will be less eventful! Much love!!
