SPAIN 2016                                 

John earned a trip to Spain this year and we took Jacob with us. It was an amazing trip, we spent 4 days in Barcelona and then traveled by train to Madrid. While there we went to a Barcelona Fuss Ball game (soccer). Messi #10 is one of the favored players. He made 2 goals and played almost the entire game. It was a blast!!
 Of course, we had amazing seats right behind the players, the next best seats would have been on the field..... which there aren't any seats there so we had the best seats!!
 The crowd went crazy when Messi#10 came out on the field....Also learned a little history about Messi, when he was 9yrs old, he moved to Spain from Argentina. He had a rare disease that stopped his growth. Barcelona Soccer  team paid for his treatment in exchange he grew up to play for the team. Kinda cool story..
 When in Madrid what does one do? Well, you go to the "Real Madrid" soccer stadium and get a brief history on the sport of soccer. It was very interesting to see the old cleats,clothing, pads and stuff they wore.
 Allstate never disappoints, and once again it was an amazing trip!! Husher was the entertainment of the evening, our table was inches from where he was, and yes the stage did get rushed, and it became a standing only performance.
On the buck list of things to see while in Spain was to go and find the Temple. We rode the metro and did a little walking and as we turned the corner there was the angel Moroni. It's a beautiful Temple.
