After Christmas, we traveled to the warm shores of Cadiz in southwestern Spain with Daddy's parents, Avi and Pops. Cadiz, the oldest continuously-inhabited city in the Iberian Peninsula and possibly of all southwestern Europe, has been a principal port of the Spanish Navy since the 18th century.

While in Cadiz, we did all the beach and touristy stuff which means seeing the Old City, swimming (well, Colin & and Kelsey swam), hanging out on the beach, a tour walk and also day trips to Gibraltar and Seville.

We stayed in an apartment around the corner from the beach which would have been an ideal location in the summer. The posting for the apartment "forgot" to mention that there wasn't any central heat so we took the 'warm room' approach and moved the one working space heater from room to room.

To no one's surprise, Kelsey was the only one who was brave enough to swim for more than 2 minutes; Colin took a quick dip but none of the rest of us dared. Kelsey has legitimately earned her nickname "Polar Bear" by swimming in even the coldest of water.
