Easter Sunday
Ahoy there from the Hyatt Regency Aruba! Easter was smack in the midst of our journey, and we had been excited to listen to that the Hyatt had an Easter egg hunt deliberate for the kiddos. (The Easter bunny visited our dwelling in Cville, in order that they obtained baskets there on our return.)
Waiting for the hunt to begin with Grammie!
There had been two sections: huge children and little children. But like most egg hunts, it was a madhouse and there have been just a few tears after.
Everyone recovered, and we rallied for lunchtime by the pool!
I had fish tacos and a Balashi!
Jolly Pirates
The spotlight of our journey for me was our afternoon snorkeling with Jolly Pirates! My sister did the reserving for us, and we had a superb time!! We climbed aboard this pirate ship (full with a pleasant crew!) and had enjoyable snorkeling at two totally different areas adopted by some rope swinging and a dance get together on the deck!
We traveled to 2 totally different snorkeling websites – the primary was a sunken ship from WWII. Looking at it underwater coated in barnacles was like trying on the Titanic! A bit creepy. The water was a bit tough, so the youthful kids stayed on board for that cease.
After 20 minutes or so there, we climbed again aboard and sailed to our second web site, which was a calmer cove.
These guys obtained in with their goggles and simply put their faces within the water to see the faculties of fish we swam by means of! I didn’t even use a life jacket right here as a result of the water was so salty you principally float!
The Rope Swing
A spotlight of a Jolly Pirates journey is the rope swing! Guess who was the very first individual to go off of it?! Barbara Younger!!
Go Mazen Go!
The Flip
I requested one of many ship mate’s if he might do the flip. He advised me provided that I used to be on his again! The subsequent factor I knew I used to be truly on his again and he was telling me “DO NOT LET GO!” If you need to see the video model, go to my Instagram story spotlight! It was unbelievable!
On the best way again, we had an open bar of Pirate’s Poison (and loads of NA choices for the children). And they cranked the music for the dance ground!
One of these magical afternoons on the water with the solar shining!
After our snorkeling, we had been all exhausted and ended up having an off-the-cuff dinner on the resort whereas watching Duke (lose, sadly) in basketball.
Fast ahead to the subsequent day once we spent our time on the seashore and pool!
Happy Hour
This smoked tequila drink was our favourite!
Caya House
For dinner, we walked into the city to Caya House!
The ambiance within the outside courtyard was beautiful!
I didn’t seize all of the meals we loved, but it surely was all scrumptious. More seafood! And yucca fries.
Afterwards we strolled by means of the city a bit and obtained some ice cream for dessert!
Thanks for following alongside! Part III is coming subsequent to wrap up our journey and share my ultimate ideas and proposals!
