Barcelona
We went to Barcelona for a
day while in
Spain.
The train ride was the highlight for
the kids but the highlight for
me was the famous...
Sagrada Familia.
This is a
temple designed by Antoni
Gaudi,
and is one of his most
famous works in Barcelona. NO
KIDDING!
This temple is unbelievable.
It's
been under construction since 1882
and is STILL under construction.
We saw a
few Gaudi creations while in Barcelona
and each of them are
equally as brilliant.
His work is so unique,
we could have spent hours at the Sagrada Familia had
we not had
the little ones :)
Most
of Gaudi's
work was inspiried by
nature. In
the above photo,
you can see how
he has
designed the pillars to
look like trees with limbs branching off near the top. How
great to
be so talented that people come from all over the world to
see your ideas.
Amazing!
The stained glass windows are
breathtaking.
Look at all the people staring up in
total awe.
My
boys won't
remember this and to
be honest,
they weren't
all that impressed.
However, I
think Cambrie was impressed and hopefully she'
ll always be grateful for
the opportunity she's had to
see Gaudi's
work. I know I
will.

This was my favorite spot in Barcelona as well. I loved how each side was different. Now a days when everything is so formal and standard its amazing to see something so ornate. Glad you are having fun. I must admit I am so stinkin jealous. Your kids are so lucky and hopefully the traveling bug will have bit them! Enjoy!
