Family reunion and vacation in Spain

After I got done with 90 hours/week work (half school, half work) in the summer and graduated from U of U we took a vacation to Spain, Balearic Islands particularly Mallorca where my incredible in-laws live. Another reason to go was also to celebrate their 50-th wedding anniversary.
One day my father-in-law took us to one of the local beaches. All the beaches in Spain belong to the government so you never have to pay to park or enter the beach. The beaches are very well maintained and clean. I really loved the color of water and it was nice and warm.




Then we had some very good friends of ours Aaron and Michelle come to visit and we showed them around. We went to a little village in the mountains, Valldemosa, where Chopin composed at one time. It was very romantic!



The whole Amoros family gathered from different parts of Spain and we celebrated 50th wedding anniversary of my in-laws. It was a great celebration in one of the hotels on the beach in Mallorca. We had a great time together, had a presentation and dances that went into the late night till we dropped dead. My husband had compiled a great presentation of the life of Juan and Teresa. Lots of tears of joy and happiness-what an incredible goal to live for!










We went to the same beach as before on another day but it was a stormy day. We did not get to swim but we sat on the beach in a cafe and were able to watch the sea give us an incredible show. I love the house on the hill. It is my dream house for when I am super rich and famous (real estate is very very $$$ in Mallorca).
We also walked around the island with the family and visited other little towns.
