We had an amazing vacation to a resort in Jamaica last week...just me and Aaron! We left on a Sunday morning and returned Thursday night. There was lots of tag-teaming going on for child care and we appreciated everyone who stepped in to love on our kids and bless us in that way.
A few weeks before, Aaron spotted this great deal on Groupon and we bought it after thinking about it for a few days...very spontaneous and exciting!
Everyone should consider checking out the Getaways section on Groupon if you're thinking about going away for a few days!
I took a few pictures around the resort so that we could show V and K where we were.
The service there was really great. Every night when we returned to our room after dinner, we had surprises like this.
Our room (suite) was really spacious and had a perfect view of the ocean with two balconies.
One morning we slept in until 8:30...latest either of us has slept in a long time. :)
We didn't spend too much time in the room though...we were on the beach every day, all day!
Aaron played volleyball every day. I watched the first day, and then joined the second and third days for just a game or two. He could play game after game, though. I read 4 books throughout the trip, mostly while lounging on the beach...vacation of my dreams, haha!
This is where we hung out most of the time.
No excursions. No scheduled anything. Just whatever we wanted to do! We didn't leave the resort. We pretty much didn't leave this spot except to go to dinner!
We made some friends while we were there, too...fun to meet new people and have different conversations that aren't the typical day-to-day interactions.
Another view of the volleyball court
We didn't even get in the pool...not once! We stuck to what we liked :)
I loved not feeling any pressure to do certain things. We were both content to just rest.
I took this picture of the hut that served pizza by the pool...ate there for lunch each day. Aaron had the jerk chicken at the grill every day for lunch. It was an all-inclusive resort, so we ate and drank all we wanted! One night we went to a nice dinner at one of the restaurants, and then walked outside to the grill beside the pool and Aaron got a burger :)
On the way back to the airport!
We were ready to leave by the 4th day...we knew we had accomplished what we went for...rested and enjoyed each other, so we were anxious to get back to the babies!
