Journey to Curacao

Phil and I finally got to cash in all the Marriott points that Phil earned from his work travel! We've been waiting for Adam to sleep through the night so we could feel ok leaving him - and it FINALLY happened! It was so great to get a way for a bit, just the two of us and totally relax. We did miss Adam, and talked about him often, but it was pretty nice to be able to sleep, read, and do exactly what we wanted to for the first time in a while. Actually, we pretty much did NOTHING the whole time - it was glorious!

Some pictures I took from the plane. Curacao is part of the Dutch Antilles, and is off the coast of Venezuela.



The view of the pool and ocean from the hotel. It was nice that the pool was right on the beach, so you didn't have to choose between the two. Rough, I know.

There were lizards everywhere! This one was right outside our room in the morning. There were big ones like this one, and little teeny tiny ones.

View looking back over the pool to the hotel.

My one activity (besides laying by the pool, laying by the ocean, and eating) was to get my nails done. Phil got his scuba certification completed and did four dives right off the beach near our hotel. He loved it!

There was a swim up bar! Lots of virgin margaritas for me! They had good chicken wings, too.

We are so thankful that Phil's parents could come and be with Adam while we had some time away. We are so fortunate! Adam did great and had a great time with his grandparents.
