Chris was able to take some time off during the week of Thanksgiving, so we decided to take a little vacation to Marbella, Spain. Compared to London, the weather there was gorgeous (probably about the same as California weather at this time of year). Until we got there, I hadn't realized how much I have been missing sunshine and warm weather!
We stayed for most of the week at one of our Marriott Vacation Club resorts on the beach in Marbella. Even though it wasn't quite beach weather, there were lots of other things to do there. We played soccer, went to the playground, played bocci ball, played ping pong, played croquet, went swimming in the indoor pool, and of course, had lots of fun playing with the resident cats!
We also took a day trip to Granada and spent one night there. While we were there, we got to see the Granada Cathedral, eat tapas, and tour the Alhambra. Then, it was back to Marbella to enjoy our Thanksgiving dinner. On Thanksgiving night, the resort did a Thanksgiving dinner buffet for all the American guests. They had turkey and all the sides. Unfortunately, it just wasn't quite the same as a home-cooked Thanksgiving dinner. So, we have already put in a request to have a proper "Thanksgiving" dinner while we're home for Christmas :)
We missed all of our family this Thanksgiving and can't wait to see them for Christmas, but all in all, it was a good Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for!

| Ready to go to Spain! |

| Thank goodness he's such a good traveler (I guess we haven't given him much choice about that - we've had him on one airplane after another since he was four months old). |
 |
| I was so worried he was going to hate sitting in a carseat, because he hasn't had to sit in one for the past five months. But, he didn't put up too much of a fight. |

| Nathan loved the cats! |

| So nice to put our toes in the sand again!! |
