I ❤ Aruba

Paul earned an all inclusive trip to Aruba for work for the two of us. Six days of relaxation and fun... it was amazing.

Our first day we went on a jeep tour that took us all over the island. Such a fun day with fun people! At our first stop on the jeep tour, the island was rocky and wavy but beautiful. Then we went to a Donkey Sanctuary (there really is such a place). Then we went to a Rock Fort. The next day was full of snorkeling and hanging out at the hotel pool and beaches. The grounds were beautiful and I honestly loved it!

 

We were able to extend our trip one night and decided to try another hotel. It wasn't as fabulous but it did have its own island with real flamingo. We ended up spending our last morning on the island.

Some parts of Aruba I now know: It is a desert but you'd never know it from the resorts. There are lizards EVERYWHERE. Some are tiny, others quite large. The people are SO nice everywhere. Parasailing isn't as terrifying as I thought it was going to be. My favorite part of the trip was floating in the ocean for hours on a foam pad while Paul paddle boarded with the boys. It was comical and so fun! We ❤ Aruba and can't wait to go back!
