A Day to Relax

Today I am feeling extremely grateful for this time away to rest and re-energize. I had no idea how needed this would be when we booked it a few months back. The sound of rushing waves, the salty air, the sand between my toes, and my best friend by my side. It is always hard for me to leave the littles, but I know that I will be able to come home with an increased measure of peace and strength to jump back in again!

We spent much of our morning leisurely walking along the beach, collecting treasures and enjoying the sound of the ocean! 

We walked all the way to the end of our resort, and checked out the hotels furthest away. The farther we got down the beach, the more rocks and tide pools we found! Every time we spotted children and families we talked about how fun it would be to bring our kids here someday to show them the warm water and palm trees!

We had a good time relaxing by the pools and checking out the different buffet and food options. 

We enjoyed a huge plate of food for lunch and then found an empty hammock to have a quick snooze!

Even in the shade, the temperature was perfect! 

After we had our fill of swimming and snoozing, we made our way to our room to change for dinner. We made reservations at the Japanese restaurant and were looking forward to trying new things. I am not a sushi lover AT ALL, so it was a bit of a stretch for me, but the experience as a whole was fun! Mike had to finish my appetizer for me as raw fish is so not my jam.

The salad was yummy though!

While we were enjoying our appetizer and salad, the chef put on a very good show! He cooked up the different types of meat ordered for the main course at our table, as well as the veggies and rice. 

It was all so yummy!

We caught the bus to the theater to save time and enjoyed another performance!
