Charlie’s Post

Hey everyone, Charlie here! I wanted to share how things have been going on our European adventure from my perspective.  First of all, let me tell you, I love to travel!  I got to ride on an airplane across the ocean and even had my own tv to watch my own shows.  And they gave me food!  Since then, I’ve gotten to ride on buses and trains and my favorite parts are putting the train ticket in the slot, opening train doors, and counting all the train stops.  In Spain there were playgrounds everywhere which was so awesome!  There were so many kids to play with and they were so nice to me.  On the train ride from Barcelona to Valencia I met a nice abuelo who showed me pictures of his grandkids and pointed to things out the window for me.  I also love going to a new house every week or few days.  It’s fun to see my new room each time!

I’ve seen so many amazing things in Spain and France.  I love going to museums to see fossils, artifacts, statues, sculptures, and paintings.  And the castles have been amazing!  We’ve gone on some pretty fun bike rides and I’ve even gone swimming in the Mediterranean Sea!

I’ve been trying a lot of new yummy food since I’ve been here, like olives, new cheeses, beets, and grapes straight off the grapevine.  As Daniel Tiger says, “you gotta try new food cause it might taste good!”

I also decided that, now that I’m a world traveler, it was time to start using the big boy potty.  So, I told my mommy that I wanted to wear my big boy undies during the day.  I like the challenge of finding new places to go to the potty; when my mommy and daddy tried to potty train me at home by keeping me in the house, it was sooooo boring!

Anyway, I’d say it’s been a pretty awesome trip so far.  I do miss my family and friends but I know I’ll see them soon.  The best part is that I get to hang out with my mommy AND daddy all day everyday! They’re the best parents ever;)
