Checking in

Hey everyone..

Once again, its been a while. But the last few days were hectic! Mom got in on Wednesday evening and we went to the airport and picked up her and Claudia. We dropped them off at their hotel (which was super nice) and went to Happy Hour at the fab restaurant at the hotel and then brought them by our place to show them our apartment. We went out to dinner and then let them get some rest since Claudia was up at 2:20a that morning and mom at 3a.

Thursday I had school stuff all day and so at 4p when I was done, we went to the hotel and did Happy Hour again at a bar in Port Lucaya and at a nearby restaurant, the Ferry House. We ended up going to dinner at a little Italian restaurant in Port Lucaya that night (which was mediocre) but worked.

Friday morning I had class until 11a and then Colby and I grabbed Mom and Claudia and we headed out to Garden of the Groves, which was beautiful and peaceful and relaxing. :) We ate lunch at the cafe and then headed back to their hotel and laid by the pool and .. you guessed it .. did Happy Hour again :) We stayed for a while sitting by the pool, talking and enjoying the great weather. Colby and I went home to get cleaned up and then we all headed to Agave, a Latin Fusion restaurant, which was incredible.

Saturday we had a beach day and took the boat shuttle from the hotel to Taino beach and laid out, grabbed lunch and relaxed some more. After a few hours there, we all headed back and Colby and I went shopping for the steak dinner we were making and Mom and Claudia went to explore Port Lucaya in search of some souveniers. Colby BBQ'd some steaks and we just hung out at our apartment for a while.

They left this morning at 7:40a and are now waiting in Miami for their flight to LAX. It was a short, sweet, fabulous trip. I am a little behind now - so this week is going to be hectic! Mini 2 in a week from tomorrow!!

Hope all is well.

Here is a link to some pictures from Garden of the Grove and our boat ride to Taino beach. Enjoy!
