After our nice long-weekend in Toledo and lets be honest the freedom of having a car I was desperate to find a reason to rent a car again. It’s a pretty cheap deal to rent through Enterprise and I can pick the car up and drop the car off while the kids are in school. We also knew that we were too tired and the kids a bit sniffly and under the weather to tackle a lot of walking and sightseeing. So Sleeping Beauty’s castle in Segovia was out but the Castle of Mendoza was in. It was a close drive – 45 minutes. Not a big city to hike though with additional sightseeing. It is the most renovated Castle we’ve seen and while there was definitely parts that were a no-no to touch we were able to go up spiral staircases and down other stone spiral staircases that left me dizzy by the time I reached the bottom. The tapestries were amazing and thanks to Jack and Annie of The Magic Tree House book series the girls knew what they were and had a basic idea of how they were made. Scarlett’s favorite part was the bedroom – it was just like all the beds of princesses she had ever seen in books and movies! You can always see more photos on our photo website.
