Our fourth day, we stopped in La Romana, Dominican Repbulic. All the siblings stuck together. We really didn’t know what we were going to do, but we lucked out and got a great taxi driver. He dropped us off at his favorite beach: Dominica Beach. We lounged, played and ate a local lunch at a [...]

We caught another taxi back into town and it turned out to be good timing because we got to see the Junkanoo parade that had been [...]

He played great with his toys while Husband and I exchanged gifts. We finished off the morning with a yummy breakfast, I [...]

My clever Husband likes to call today Christmas Adam…because it’s the day before Christmas Eve, as in Adam and Eve.
Anywho, we went bowling tonight. Haven’t done it in for-ev-er. Little Man was a fanatic and had the people on either side of us eating out of his hand. We’ll definitely be going again.

Last night, Husband’s awesome company got a suite at the Avalanche {hockey} game. It was ah-mazing; that’s the way to see a game. The food was so yummy: roasted chicken, red potatoes, gourmet sausages, fancy nachos, Mediterranean grilled veggies, cheese platters, fresh fruits, pasta salad, and a dessert cart that would knock yo’ socks off.
