Toledo, Spain

Today we took a train out to Toledo.  Is a city on a hill that has been there for thousands of years.  monuments all around the city remind you of times from the roman era, to times when the Muslims reigned as well as times when the Christians conquered.  It has a rich History and it was lots of fun to explore with the kids.    Toledo is also in the region of La Mancha and so we had to visit the statue of Miguel de Cervantes. (Author of Don Quijote)
There is alsa a military museum in Toledo that we visited while we were there.




 We took the opportunity to let the kids eat at McDonalds as well.  Sometimes familiar food is all we need to feel a little at home.
 In Toledo there is a huge Cathedral that we visited.  I wish I took a picture of the kids favorite part of it but i didn't.   There favorite part was the crypt were there was one grave that was made out of glass and it was a princess that died because she would not deny Christ.  You could still see her rib cage and the kids thought it was super cool.  Makenna and Miranda laughed about how this was their first time meeting a real princess.
