Cádiz and Tarifa

Thursday we left on another road trip to the southern most part of Spain. We made a stop in Cádiz where we walked around, checked out the Roman ruins, the market and an old fort (very southwestern looking) and grabbed lunch. Very cute old town with narrow walking streets and a very large historic town. 

We then headed to Tarifa where Marshall and Matthew enjoyed happy hour on the roof top (and did some shopping for a casual dinner) and I took the boys to the empty beach where they enjoyed the waves. We ate dinner of bread, cheese, olives and sausage and then we headed out for a drink and to grab a burger for D-man. When we returned, we all played blitz and spoons and put the boys to bed at 1:45....... 

After a late start and sleeping in, we headed to el Palmar for a delicious fish lunch and surfing (Uncle Matt’s treat. While the 65 degree weather and drizzle wasn’t great for laying on the beach, it was good for consistent waves. So proud of both boys - they both did great and enjoyed this special treat. Home by 7:15 to have dinner with Riina on Friday night. Another successful road trip thanks to Uncle Matt.
