A Dream Vacation

Amazing. That's what our trip to the El Dorado Royale was.

We wanted to do something special for our 5th Anniversary & were thrilled when our friends Bethany & Trevor decided to join us!

Here are some shots of our hotel...

It was the best vacation. We had never been to an all-inclusive before. It was so great to lay around on the beach all day, take naps, then get dressed up to head to dinner.

I always wanted to go to a beach with huts that you sit under...
There were also different events scheduled throughout the day that you could participate in. Bethany was so excited when she heard about the sand volleyball...

We also played some water polo - I actually played this one!

The day we were leaving was quite the adventure. We checked our bags before lunch b/c our flight was supposed to be leaving within the hour - we were told we had a 2 hour delay. So, we busted out the Settler's game & enjoyed our time.

When we got to the airport, turns out there was no delay! So we got to the plane, boarded & headed home! CRAZY!

We thoroughly enjoyed just getting to be together. Can you tell?

We were so thankful to my mom and dad for keeping Kate while we were gone. Thankful that we knew she was being well taken care of, spoiled, and treasured while we were gone. We are blessed to have parents who value our time together as a couple and time with their granddaughter!
