Happy Birthday to my partner, my best friend, my wife!

As a small birthday present to her, I am posting the pictures (at least SOME of them) from our recent trip to Barcelona. If you didn't know we were gone, sorry. I've been AWOL from posting for some time now. Partially because of being a bit busy. Partially because I just didn't feel like it. Hence, the need to have a reason to do it again. And, what better reason than my wife?!?! :)

So, without further ado ... Barcelona:
