Noa's birthday was last week and we celebrated over breakfast with friends in Puerto Sherry. We really enjoy this area as it has restaurants by the water, a comfortable beach, and great views. It was a pleasant, clear morning - perfect for breakfast outside with friends.
Starting the day with some cafe con leche (coffee/espresso with steamed milk) with the waves lapping the shore behind you: perfection!
Oh, and did I mention that we ordered the fresh squeezed orange juice? It's mighty tasty, but you definitely get lots of pulp!
Here's the man of the day with some of his buddies. Left to right: Robbie, Chris, Bryan, and of course, Noa. And no, that wine was not for breakfast…those are a couple of his birthday gifts.
This is Ruby with her newest BFF, Keira. They are about a year apart in age and so fun to watch together, with their little conversations, giggle fits, and imaginative play.
We are lucky to have some Washington connections out here. Chris works at the hospital with Noa and his wife, Laura, and I were buddies back in Washington. It's nice to walk this road of excitement/uncertainty/newness with them as we navigate our new surroundings in Spain.
After breakfast, we enjoyed the beach with the kiddos. Ruby and Keira had a blast playing in the sand and running around. Since it's not tourist season anymore, the beaches are less crowded and the girls had plenty of room to play.
This was when Ruby was pretending to swim in the sand. Crazy girl!
I entertained Mila and tried to keep her from eating sand.
And, then there's the obligatory birthday selfie with Noa. It was such a peaceful, relaxed morning with him and a nice change of pace from the contact unpacking and errand-running.
It may have been a low-key birthday celebration this year, but I think Noa really enjoyed it and we'll remember it fondly in years to come.
