And equally as fun is sailing out of the harbor in Valencia.
Or watching the snowfall on the Alhambra.
Or having tapas, or pinchos as they’re called in San Sebastian, around happy hour time.
The food, the culture, the people…all amazing. I see why authors have been able to so easily romanticize it over the years.
But the most romantic thing in this country…in this world…is my family.
Just watching my children sleep in a hammock on a warm summer day.
Watching as we board a flight out of Madrid for one of our many destinations that we travel to…always together.
Or watching their father play with them just like he’s a kid himself, enjoying time with his children in a way that only a man who truly loves his family could.
“Hey, got any lemonade?” he asks as he catches his breath after running over to where we’re sitting. “Lourdes is getting good.”
“Yeah, I saw that,” I say pouring nine glasses. One for each of the seven of us and two for our guests.
“Kids!” he says, turning to them and they all come running to fill up on the sugary sweet but just bitter enough drink before heading back out to play.
“Wow, how do you manage it all?” the princess of Monaco asks.
“It’s easy when you have as much love as we do.”
The princess turns and looks at her prince. They kiss and then turn back toward me.
“Could you please excuse us for a minute. I think we need to…lie down for an afternoon nap?”
“Of course.” I pause. “Should I send anyone up to wake you at a certain time?”
“No, we won’t be sleeping,” the prince says. The princess slaps him on the chest. “For very long.”
She smiles and I smile back.
“Wish you a nice rest,” I say and the two of them are off.
I sit down and pour myself another lemonade, but in the reflection of the jug I see the prince grab the princess’s behind.
Yeah…they’re not going to be sleeping at all. Seems our love and our family hasn’t just inspired this nation, but another nation.
And that’s how we do it and how we teach our children.
Love everybody and respect everyone, whether you’re royalty or a cook in a kitchen, because I’ve been both and both come with their ups and downs.
But nothing comes with as many ups as what comes next.
“Mom, thanks for making lemonade,” Lourdes says as she quickly pours another glass and tips it back with two hands.
“You’re welcome, sweetie,” I say as I run my hands through her hair. She really does look exactly like her dad and I. It’s like she’s exactly fifty percent of each of us.
But she’s one hundred percent got both of our hearts.
And as she quickly scores another goal her father gives her a high five and a hug, giving her the self-confidence to let her know she can do anything she wants to do in life.
The sky’s the limit and dreams really do come true.
I know, because it happened to me.
Thanks to my prince and our castle full of kids…forever.
