We just got back from our super relaxing vacation! We were in Aruba for a week and it was amazing. Aruba to me felt like Mexico in Europe or a Giant Disneyland where the theme is the beach.

Most days we just slept in, ate breakfast, went to the beach (where we slept some more), enjoyed the constant breeze, read a few books, jumped in the ocean, took another nap, and followed it up with a fancy dinner. By the way, if this was Disneyland, my favorite rides had to be the restaurants. We had everything from Belgium to Dutch, Brazilian, Japanese, Aruban, and Italian. Oh yes and we also had “Two, two a day”. Two scoops of a new flavor of ice cream two times a day.

Ok, so it wasn’t all rest, relaxation and “engordation” (that’s my new word for fattening myself up). We did some fun things too. We rented a jeep and drove around the island, we found some indian ruins, the natural pool, the natural bridge, the lighthouse and checked out the other side of the island where people go to surf. We also sailed on a cataramaran and snorkeled around a ship that sunk during World War II.

Here are some pictures from the trip.
