Dominican Republic



We recently got home from our trip to the Dominican Republic. It was a very nice vacation...I think Marty needed it most of all :) We took our kids with us on this trip and they loved it! I was impressed at how well both of them traveled. We had to get on 3 planes just to get there. They did sleep most of the flight.
They spent the majority of their time playing in the pool or on the sandy beach. One of the pools at the resort had a play set in the water. Martin loved climbing the steps and going down the slide that landed in the pool. It was only about waist-high. Elizabeth's favorite was the lazy river, which she called the noisy river. She wanted her own tube to float in...she's such a big girl. We did take some side trips. One trip was to the coffee/cocoa farm where they demonstrated how all that is made. Another trip was to on a boat to go snorkeling. Of course the kids didn't snorkel. We tried getting them in the water, but they cried. They did not like the ocean.
Marty, along with the grandparents, took them horseback riding. I couldn't go because I'm pregnant. The people there really frowned on me doing anything, because of my pregnancy. It was kind of annoying that I couldn't do hardly anything, but at the same time it gave me the chance to really relax and not have to go do anything but sit by the pool.
I will get more pictures posted when I get them from Kathy. She takes way more pictures than I do.
We had a great time and the week went by too fast. Maybe next time I can convince Marty of a 2 week vacation ;)
