I love the vacations where you don't feel like you have any schedule, you don't feel like you have to get dressed up, put on makeup, don't have to blow dry your hair, no one telling you to hurry back etc.......just plain old relaxing and enjoying the moment. ARUBA is beautiful!
My favorite thing was walking out on the beach first thing in the morning barefoot in the soft white powder sand, faced with a spectacular view of the Caribbean brilliant clear blue water. AHHH there really is nothing like it, I had to soak in every minute.
We stayed in an Awesome Hotel that had a Beautiful Pool...which by the way we only stepped into it once to take pictures. Who can sit here when the beach is only steps away?
The Snorkeling was superb, we saw several turtles, squid, an eel, a star fish and all the typical tropical fish.
The Sun was really so intense. Every morning we would power up with 45 sunscreen...frequently reapplying throughout the day and still we were kissed by
the Sun :)
I love the Sun...this is bad I know {but really who cannot soak up this moment} We went to several different beaches enjoying all it had to offer. We rented a car and explored the entire Island. The Aruban kids put on quite a show for us one day{I had to quickly capture them} They were pretty cute!!
Of course we had to Shop. Mark is so good and always tries to encourage me to buy a nice piece of jewelry wherever we vacation.....sort of a momentum to take home. So needless to say I have some real fun pieces of jewelry that have a lot of meaning to them.
A lot of their buildings are painted in Bright colors. Even the houses are painted

very Bright colors!! This was the shopping tourist trap with a lot of good shopping..... across the street was the typical flee market shops.
I guess when you can spend every waking minute for a week with your husband of 32 years and still like each other that is a pretty good sign that we must still BE IN LOVE!!
Love those Arubian Sunsets
Thanks Mark for an Incredible Week of Sheer Bliss!! Love you
