Dominican Part 1

Part 1 of a multiple part post due to the amount of pictures. This December, we went to Dominican Republic for my sister Karen's wedding to Pete. It was a great time and a wonderful escape from the Chicago winter. Nothing like a little tan, 80 degree weather, sunshine and ocean to take away the winter blues. And of course, a wonderful wedding!

We stayed at an all-inclusive resort so we didn't leave our little bubble or really the pool or beach side for that matter. Actually, Jeff went with Josh and Stephanie to have some local food which they enjoyed.

Kyle & Emily were all about dancing. Here they are cuttin' it up with Colleen.

This is how naptime worked in Dominican for us. It was glorious! Instead of going back to the room, we brought naptime to the beach or poolside. The kids had their blankets, Deedee or Miko, dry clothes and a shaded spot and took some amazing naps. We're not talking short little cat-naps, but regular sized, 2 hour, sometimes more, type naps. It was great because then both Jeff and I could either relax with them, read, or hangout with everyone while they got their rest.
