Easter Sunday

Ahoy there from the Hyatt Regency Aruba! Easter was smack in the course of our journey, and we have been excited to listen to that the Hyatt had an Easter egg hunt deliberate for the kiddos. (The Easter bunny visited our house in Cville, in order that they received baskets there on our return.) 

Ready for the hunt to begin with Grammie!

There have been two sections: large children and little children. However like most egg hunts, it was a madhouse and there have been a couple of tears after.

Everybody 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 completely different places adopted by some rope swinging and a dance get together on the deck!

We traveled to 2 completely different snorkeling websites – the primary was a sunken ship from WWII. it underwater coated in barnacles was like trying on the Titanic! A bit creepy. The water was a bit tough, so the youthful youngsters stayed on board for that cease. 

After 20 minutes or so there, we climbed again aboard and sailed to our second website, which was a calmer cove. 

These guys received in with their goggles and simply put their faces within the water to see the colleges of fish we swam by way of! I didn’t even use a life jacket right here as a result of the water was so salty you mainly float! 

The Rope Swing

A spotlight of a Jolly Pirates journey is the rope swing! Guess who was the very first particular person to go off of it?! Barbara Youthful!! 

Go Mazen Go!

The Flip

I requested one of many ship mate’s if he might do the flip. He informed me provided that I used to be on his again! The following factor I knew I used to be really on his again and he was telling me “DO NOT LET GO!” If you wish to see the video model, go to my Instagram story spotlight! It was unimaginable! 

On the way in which again, we had an open bar of Pirate’s Poison (and loads of NA choices for the youngsters). They usually cranked the music for the dance ground! 

A kind of magical afternoons on the water with the solar shining! 

After our snorkeling, we have been all exhausted and ended up having an off-the-cuff dinner on the resort whereas watching Duke (lose, sadly) in basketball. 

Quick ahead a day on the seaside, and we have been are for dinner the subsequent night time!! 

Comfortable Hour

This smoked tequila drink was our favourite! 

Caya Home

For dinner, we walked into the city to Caya Home!

The ambiance within the out of doors courtyard was beautiful!

I didn’t seize all of the meals we loved, but it surely was all scrumptious. Extra seafood! And yucca fries. 

Afterwards we strolled by way of the city a bit and received some ice cream for dessert!
