I was grateful that we rented a large and comfortable house, because on Sunday January 3rd, the kids and I spent the entire day in the house. It was windy and poured rain all day. My parents and Bob were much more valiant and attended church in the morning.
When my parents arrived in Lisbon on December 29th, they gave us a huge board game which was a Christmas gift from Amber and Cassidy. The game was "Ticket to Ride - Europe." When we first saw the game we were a little annoyed because we had to carry this heavy game with us throughout the entire trip. But in the end, the game was perfect for keeping us entertained on a rainy Sunday in Porto. It takes about 2 hours to complete one game, and we ended up playing all afternoon.
Grandma and Grandpa left for the airport around 4pm but when they tried to return their rental car at the airport, the rental company told them that they had to return the car to their downtown office. So they quickly drove back to downtown Porto, returned the car and then took the shuttle to the airport. They just made their flight to Madrid, but their luggage did not make it. They stayed the night in Madrid and the next day left on a 4 day tour of Andalusia without their luggage. Poor Grandpa and Grandma had to wear the same clothes throughout the entire tour. They still had a very good time, and were finally reunited with their luggage when they returned to Madrid on January 7th.
