Trip to Guatemala

I was able to go to Guatemala for a few days last weekend to visit my parents, and it was so wonderful to have them all to myself! We had a great time seeing the amazing sights, culture, and just being together.

We went to a beautful golf course and hotel outside of Antigua and one the holes was named "Pop" which I knew my kids would love.
The volcano smoking behind us

Another Volcano- they are so beautiful!

The view from our hotel room

Lunch in Antigua- I LOVE the black beans, platanos, guacamole, and limeades!
Some ruins about an hour outside of Guatemala City

The children are SO adorable- these two little girls were so sweet walking down the street like this.
We went to a neat church in Chichicastenango, and the market there was HUGE! You feel bad because you want to buy something from everyone!
It was such a great trip, and even though I was sad that my family couldn't have the time with my Mom and Dad, I was grateful for it. Nate says he's still angry because he misses them more than me! I'm not sure that's true- but we all miss having them around so much and are glad for any time together. I am constantly reminded of how wonderful my parents are and feel so lucky to have them! Thank you for the amazing trip Mom and Dad!
