Palma


After a few days in Madrid, we jetted of to Palma de Mallorca.

Before our trip, I was scrolling through Pinterest and saw this gorgeous picture of a tall cathedral nestled right next to the ocean. 

It looked A-MA-ZING! Aaaand... it was in Spain! I looked up to see if it was feasible to go there, and luckily there were plenty of cheap flights to the island. We immediately worked it in to our itinerary. 


We finally were able to meet the Finter's there! After their battle with sick kids and multiple booked flights from London, they made it! 


Our first day was spent walking along one of the many beach towns, grabbing lunch, McDonald's ice cream cones, exploring castles and strolling down the main streets at night. 

We were so luckily and caught the most spectacular Spanish sunsets EVERY night. 

They were

INCREDIBLE! 


We rented a car, which was the best thing we've ever done (besides street parking at night).

It gave us the flexibility and ease to move around the island quickly, and we loved the little Fiat we had with the convertible top. 

We drove to tiny Soller the next day. 

Aaron LOVED the cute little downtown center. 


We also drove to Port de Soller. 

It was a ghost town.... well the whole island was. Since it was off season, it was a little chilly. 

But we didn't mind. 

We had unobstructed views. 

Plenty of parking. 

And quiet viewpoints.


Slowly, we made our way back to the apartment for the night. 

We absolutely loved driving through the cutest cities along the way back. 

They were so charming and quaint. 

My camera was going full speed trying to capture every detail.

Aar and I wish we had more time to drive around, that was one of our favorite parts of Majorca!

Our nights were spent making dinner and catching up/playing games with Landon and Nina while their little boys slumbered away. 


Our last day we traveled across the island for more beach views in Porto Cristo. 

 The white limestone cliffs against the turquoise water were right out of a postcard and so dreamy.



We had such a fun time and I'm so glad we were able to squeeze in one more trip before Baby B comes.
