After a pretty long day of traveling last Saturday, we finally arrived in Puerta Plata, Dominican Republic. The resort was beautiful, right out of a magazine. We arrived very late at night so we couldn't fully appreciate what she had in store for us until the next morning. Blue skies and a bright sun welcomed us after a good night's sleep. The girls had a great time by the pool and our first day was going really well.
The next few days it rained.
Rain is very common in the tropics and comes and goes as it pleases. Well it came and kept on coming Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Needless to say, not too many pictures taken outdoors on those days. But with the kids indoors we made the best of movies, coloring and books. When the skies did clear during those three days we went down by the pool, took golf cart rides around the resort, Sofia and Anthony visited the Kids Club on the resort (which she loved) and Olivia napped beautifully. I read two books. In one week. I made very good use out of naptimes and bedtimes.
Tuesday was Valentine's Day and Sofia was sad to have missed her Valentine's Day party at school. I came prepared with a playfully wrapped book each and some red and pink m&m's. Girls were very happy.
Adios for now!
You are the best mama, bringing them valentines! :) can't wait to see more of the trip.
