Our Time In Paradise

Jason and I returned from the most wonderful vacation late, late Thursday night. We went back to Jamaica where we went 9 years ago for our honeymoon. This time we went to a different part of the island; Whitehouse which is in the Westmoreland parish of Jamaica. We stayed at a Sandals resort which we highly recommend if you have the opportunity. Thank you to all of our parents who took turns taking care of our precious kiddos-we cannot tell you how much we appreciate you! Here is a little highlight from our week...

Saturday: We arrived after a long day of travel and a "hairy" ride from the airport. It typically rains every day there, but usually for only about an hour. The day we arrived, it had already been raining for hours and the streets were covered in water. Needless to say it was scary, but we made it safely. We got settled in and enjoyed a delicious dinner followed by delicious dessert.

Sunday: We spent the day checking out the resort and enjoying the pool. It was a nice relaxing first full day in paradise. We left our worries and stress behind and enjoyed the company of just the 2 of us.

Monday: More exploring (the tree pic is of baby coconuts) and time at the pool, a true Jamaican dinner w/ Jerk Chicken and Pork and Pina Coladas in coconuts. A beach party w/ fire throwers was an exciting end to a great day.

Tuesday: We took an excursion to the Appleton Rum Estate, spent more time in the pool, watched a beautiful sunset on the beach, and enjoyed a delicious steak and lobster dinner. The picture of the mountains is what we drove thru to get to Appleton; beautiful to say the least!

Wednesday: This was a bittersweet day for us. It was our last day, so we wanted to make the most of it. We spent the day on the beach exploring sea life, kayaking in the ocean, and relaxing. We enjoyed our last dinner which was delicious talking about our highlights from the trip and dreaming about when we will return.
