I'm back from our wonderful vacation. It was so beautiful and warm. Truly paradise. Dan and I had a wonderful time together. I missed our kids so much, but it was so good for Dan & I to have that time together. My laptop broke while we were in St. Maartin, so I wasn't able to email home. It is still broken, so I am using our 10 year old ancient computer.
The villa we stayed at was so comfortable and it was right on the beach. Every morning Dan bought delicious french pastries, which we ate on our balcony while watching the waves. It was heavenly. We relaxed on the beach, and I slept a lot. There is something about the sounds of the waves crashing that just lulled me off to sleep.
Two of the days we went to another island, Anguilla. We went to a white sandy beach that had an amazing reef right off the coast, where we snorkeled with hundreds of colorful fishes. The coral reef formations and plants were breathtaking. We even saw a Manta Ray, and so many different kinds of fishes. It is so fascinating to see a whole other world that exists under water. I loved floating in the water, swimming with the fishes. Floating is the best pain relief. It is so easy to float in the warm salt water of the caribbean.
I am still trying to readjust to the time changes. As much as I missed my kids, it is hard to come back and dive back into the day to day routine. Yesterday there was no school, so we spent the day hanging out. That was nice.
Once I get my laptop fixed, I will upload some pictures from our vacation.
