Traveled: Punta Cana

I've been bad. No blog post for weeks, but hopefully these beautiful photos from our vacation last week to Punta Cana will relax you and make you forget that I haven't been a good blogger.

We went with Stephen's mom, sister and 8 year-old niece. We stayed at the NH Real Arena and NH Real Beach. Stephen and I upgraded to the Beach side, which is an adults-only side. It provided a nice reprieve when we wanted quiet, but since both sides are connected, we were able to spend a lot of time with Stephen's family.

The Punta Cana airport is entirely open and airy. Very unique and very cool.

We upgraded our room when we checked in and I did a dance when I saw this view.

Happy and relaxed - a first in a long time.

We went snorkeling in the reef. Stephen had a great time. I had a great time snapping photos of this water.

A shot of me with Stephen's mom, sister and niece. Love this family!

How gorgeous is Stephen's mom?

Overall this was a phenomenal trip. I would definitely come back to this island and resort again.

Caribbean Paradise

Doesn't that look lovely? These are the beaches Stephen and I will be walking when we head to Punta Cana for his 30th birthday. We'll be joined by his mom and sister for an adult's spring break at the end of March.

It seems that our trip to Puerto Vallarta last year sealed the deal of heading to a warm destination every winter. We did our research via CheapCaribbean.com and found a one week deal that was too good to pass up.

A little slice of paradise - can't wait!
