The girls and I had never been to Spain and, since Q had visited Barcelona only, we decided to make a quick trip to Madrid after leaving Israel. The weather was chilly but everything else about our four-day visit was about perfect: The city is lovely and clean and walkable, the people are friendly, the shopping is terrific. And, of course, there was tons to see.

We spent our first day exploring the city, shopping (warm hats, scarves and gloves for us girls!), and sampling a Madrid must-have: hot chocolate and churros. The next day we did more exploring, spent a lot of time at a fun center-of-the city playground and visited Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, a museum with tons of Impressionist paintings (for me and Zoe) and several Dalis (for Q). Even Avery, who considers museums “boring,” enjoyed herself.
