pictures

I had trouble choosing which pictures to post....... I had over 30 I had to either post or cut, so I cut some! A huge thanks to Kiki and Pop for keeping the girls for us! I think they had a fun (& busy) time! We enjoyed our break from reality, but we are back and in full swing!

We haven't been anywhere alone since our honeymoon. Pitiful, I know! So, since it has been almost 6 years, it was time! We decided to go back to the same place we went for our honeymoon. We had such a wonderful time! The first day alone... our room was upgraded and I discovered chocolate chips cookies throughout the resort!!! A great start to the week! I was really looking forward to coming back with a tan, but the weather didn't cooperate. Our last two days were cloudy and windy. But, we did get to read a lot, watch movies, and even play bingo. Yes, I do realize we could have done all this in nashville, and yes I realize that makes us sound really dorky too!!!
Jim relaxing. This resort has a private island that you take a boat too. It was so quiet and relaxing. We also noticed that a lot of stuff had be re-done since we were there.

my first trip to a casino...... We had 2 really icky days- windy and cloudy. So, we headed to a straw market and then here. I think I look like a sleepy tourist here!

like I said... we took most of these pictures ourselves


a private 50 minute couples massage on this pier for just $270.... We just couldn't pull the trigger on that!!



can you find his eyes? They had this really big, loud band thing one night. I didn't enjoy it.... I felt like they were coming after me!




the water is just so beautiful!





I know... would have been much cuter if it were pictures of kiddos feet!







once again... I love this water!








And, did I mention... I love this water? (I really didn't mean to do three of the water...)






dinner one night










so pretty, but too bad I ate every bit of it!










view from the workout room.... Yes, we worked out 3 times and really enjoyed it!










Okay..... Jim loves to take single shots. I hate them! Jim kept saying, "Let me take your picture with this statue." Finally, the last night I did it. Of course another couple walked by right as we were taking this! On another note.... there were probably a 100 statues around this place. They look so dumb! Who told them they looked good?




cute 'single' shot of Jim

I am so very jealous of your get-away trip! I came across your blog and your girls are so cute.

So fun! I love your single shot...you look really happy! I am glad you got away...it is so fun to get away for a few days whenever you can squeeze it in...i don't see it happening any time in my near future!

Looks like you went to Sandals! That's where we went too. We have a pic of Ben by the statues as well. Just couldn't resist. We loved it there.
