¡Hasta luego, polo shirts!

We’ve spent a great few days relaxing in Barcelona and visiting some of the sights. It’s a beautiful city, and we enjoyed another open air bus tour like we did in Paris with Mom. Sure, it’s very touristy, but it’s the best way we can see what’s around and hey, we’re tourists. We managed to pack in a couple of good meals, one great meal, and even a ride on the Telefèric, Barcelona’s cable car (think Disney’s Sky Ride, not San Francisco). However, the best part of the trip for me was when Jon decided to finally do something for himself and treat himself to a few new outfits, Spanish style. Jon is so utilitarian and practical that he rarely spends money on himself, and even though he’s been wearing the same 3 shirts for the past 4 months, he’s reluctant to upgrade. He doesn’t even like those 3 shirts. I knew he wanted to get some summer clothes, and when we found the store Desigual I really had to push him to try a few things. He got a couple of good pieces from the amazing collection at Desigual, and then supplemented with some cheaper things from H & M. It was great to see Jon do something nice for himself for a change; he is always doing things for us and puts himself last. Even Sara noticed. Daddy never gets new clothes, he is always thinking about what everybody else needs, not what he needs. Wow. So now Jon has some new clothes with a cool European aesthetic, and he looks fantastic.  Watch for him in his new…wait for it…manpris. Yes, I’m serious.
