Alicante Spain

We took advantage of a bank holiday the last weekend in August and fit in a few days to escape to Alicante Spain. Alicante is on the Mediterranean Coast west of Barcelona and is considered to be one of Europe's top 10 beaches. We found an apartment to rent that was about a mile from the beach. The first morning of our trip was a bit hairy. Avery had her first real throw up and unfortunately I got an up close and personal view or should I say splattering of this event (so did her poor stuffed bear). Luckily a nap on mommy, after we were all cleaned up, cured all and she was ready for the pool and beach that afternoon. We spent the remaining days hanging out ocean side under an umbrella followed by a rinse off and swim at the pool in the afternoons. Avery loved the water, it didn't matter how much salt water got her mouth. She was not afraid of the waves either.

Having fun!

Glad to see you survived your travels. Can't wait to "hear" all about it. Love the new picture. -Miranda (just signed in as Dave)
