Some trips feel bigger than a vacation—they become milestones that families remember for years to come. For Anela, her family vacation in Barcelona marked the first time both sides of the family were able to travel together, making every moment feel especially meaningful.

To celebrate this special occasion, she chose to capture their time in Barcelona with a SweetEscape photoshoot! Check out Anela’s SweetEscape story of her unforgettable time in the Catalan city!

How does it feel to finally be able to travel together with your family and in-laws?

This is our first trip with everyone complete! I am absolutely elated and feel incredibly blessed to have the opportunity to travel with both my family and my in-laws like this. It’s something I never take for granted, and being able to share these experiences together is truly special.

Since this is the first trip where everyone is finally gathered, how would you describe the experience?

It’s been a humbling experience planning and coordinating an itinerary that everyone can enjoy. I’m very fortunate that my family trusted me to curate about 99% of the trip. I’m definitely a bit Type A when it comes to vacations! My greatest hope is that we can do something like this again in the future, with my niece and nephew joining us to make the group even bigger and the memories even sweeter.

Among the crowd, who could you say is the most excited for the photoshoot?

Besides myself, I would say my father is the most excited about the photoshoot in Barcelona. Growing up, I always remember him with a camera in hand, documenting family milestones and everyday moments. His passion for photography inspired my own love for preserving memories. That’s why planning this photoshoot feels so special, it brings together something we both cherish. I know it was a highlight not just for my father but also for everyone in the family to experience Barcelona’s breathtaking architecture and culture while creating lasting memories together.
