Daniela Ruah is sharing a love letter to Portugal.

The NCIS star posted a big compilation video of photos from her month-long trip to her home country with her family. The fun-filled photo post was set to the tune of "Bom Feeling" by Sara Tavares. The family certainly made the most of their time in Portugal, as Ruah detailed in her Instagram caption, which she posted in both Portuguese and English.

"After a month of wonderful things, our summer vacay in Portugal has come to an end 🥹 We visited the amazing Tomar Castle, the city of Évora and its roman ruins, the Évora Cathedral and the Chapel of Bones," Ruah wrote. For every excursion mentioned, Ruah shared accompanying images, such as a few shots of the family looking at some of the whopping 5,000 corpses on display in Portugal's Chapel of Bones.

"We had dinner at the @cantodopoeta in Alfama and experienced the hearts and souls of the singers and guitarists..." Ruah continued. "We flew with @dreamfly, went to the 3D Museum, kids learned to surf at @angelsurfschool , adventures at @lx_escape , ate ice cream at @geladosantini and played football (soccer) with our fave Portuguese coach @diogoabreu." There are a host of funny images from the family at the 3D Museum, such as Daniela posing alongside a magician, as if he is making her float in the air.

Ruah concluded the bilingual caption by writing, "And of course lots of FAMILY and FRIENDS. But also cookies from the best @bakebros_pt And a little work too... PS None of the tags are sponsorships, we just loved them and want to share!" The family definitely looked like they all enjoyed their time in Portugal, and were all smiles in the plethora of images.

In the photos, Ruah looked head over heels for husband David Paul Olsen, with whom she tied the knot in 2014. The month prior, on June 19, she wrote a long, heartfelt message to her beau for their 10-year wedding anniversary.

"I knew this guy loved me before he ever said it, because his actions spoke louder than his words," Ruah gushed, adding. "And I knew this was the man I would build a life with, parent with, argue with, cook with, travel with, be mad at, be excited about, make mistakes with and celebrate life's victories with. He was my person from the moment we met, and I was his." The couple welcomed their son River Isaac in December 2013, and their daughter Sierra Esther in September 2016.
