Our last day of the trip was a Sunday. We went to church at Claudia's old ward again, then went on an afternoon excursion to see the Madrid Temple Grounds.
Eowyn sat next to me on the bus. At one point she turned around and said "I love you." I about died- she is too cute to handle!

That's the Madrid MTC to the left and a Stake Center to right.
The missionaries were out singing. We talked to a couple sisters after their performance.
This trip was really everything we hoped it would be. We got to see amazing new places and soak up a lot of history. We used our time efficiently! It was also really great getting to know Claudia's family and having great tour guides in Spain! That being said, we were ready to go home. We were really missing Elliot, and we could tell he was missing us too whenever we called to chat with him. It was also pretty physically taxing walking all over the place every day- especially when it passed 100 degrees (not that it wasn't just as hot or hotter when we got home. Arizona and Spain have pretty similar climates.)
We flew to DC to pick up Elliot from my parent's house. I am so grateful to have parents who will happily take on their grandkids for a week and a half. This trip would not have been possible without that!
My parent's back deck. What a view.
Elliot was very happy to see us, but not on board with going home. When we got back to our house in Arizona, he started throwing a fit and asking to go back to Mimi's house- apparently he thought the day spent on an airplane was just a fun ride, not a means of travel. He set off into the darkness to walk back to Mimi's house.
