8/30/16 By Brad :)

  All of us on the way to an amusement park in Salou called PortAventura.
 Dad and Meg standing in the parking lot posing in front of the Ferrari roller coaster being built.
 Thought this cars paint job was pretty cool.
 Me being cool as a cucumber in front of the Ferrari Land sign haha
 
 Megan was quite fond of this bush who's flower petals were actually pink leaves, it was really bizarre, never seen anything like it.
 Ferrari Land, planned to be completed next year unfortunately :(
 Us waiting in line at the first ride. The rides themselves were GREAT, however each one was about a 30 minute wait in line. This one in particular took an hour and a half just to ride once!
 
 
 Still pretty overcast weather today.
 
 Megan hadn't eaten since the day before so I gave dad the camera to take pictures while they ate while I went out and adventured :)
 All of us walking in "China". The amusement park was divided into several different areas of the world, each area with their own unique rides reflecting the part of the world it represented. It was essentially the Epcot Center but with roller coasters.
These two were my favorite rides, the Shambala (the uber tall white one) and the dragon something or other ride (the red one with a lot of loops) 

 
  All of us waiting in line at the dragon ride.
 My dad made it a point to take a picture of me eating a sandwich we quickly grabbed from a 24 hr. gas station so I can tell my kids someday hahaha
 Me and my dad being dorks on the 2 and a half hour drive to Valencia after walking everywhere today. In total we've walked between 27 and 33 miles in the last 3 days so everyone was pretty tired by the end of the day.
Finally at the hotel in Valencia. Well just finished typing this up at 2 in the morning, time to go to bed cause I have to wake up in 6 hours to throw tomatoes at people. PEACE!:)
