Madrid with Nina, Poppop and Aunt Sheila

So after New Years, we headed up to Madrid on the train for a few days.  The train was exciting for the kids, we even go to sit in first class!   I think the kids favorite part of the time there was the street performers of all kinds.  But they really loved the bubble blowing ones!  Our apartment was right off one of the main plazas, the Puerto de Sol.  It is a very busy plaza, with lots of entertainment, including lots of cartoon characters!  It was also very loud, all night long...thankful for ear plugs!  We visited the Palace and the huge Retiro Park!  It was a very nice little getaway.
Beautiful Plaza de Mayor

Kids being silly!





San Miguel Mercado






Kind of creepy, all the characters withtheir heads off, especially for someone who has worked at Disney!
