We had a great trip to Aruba! We spent the week at the Marriott Ocean Club. Allie and Ryan LOVED playing on the beach and in the pool. The weather was warm and breezy...although we did have some passing showers (it is Aruba's rainy season). That didn't stop us from having fun! We visited our favorite restaurant, El Gaucho...ok, we went TWICE for some yummy steak. About 75% of the guests at our hotel were from the northeast and of those 75%, at least half were from the Boston area. Everyone was wearing Red Sox and Patriots gear! The Happy Hour singer even dedicated 'SWEET CAROLINE' to 'all the sox fans'. NICE!
We visted the Aruba Ostrich Farm (random, yes). Ryan burst into tears when the ostriches poked their heads through the fence at him. Allie was a little more brave! But, take note...do not tell the Customs folks that you went to the Ostrich farm. We thought we were going to be detained by the Department of Agriculture. Luckily, they only wanted to disinfect our shoes before we flew home!
We came home a day early since Allie was not feeling well. It was a good decision after we learned how sick she is from the pediatrician! No worries...she's already on the mend and ready for Christmas!

Happy to hear that you had a good time in Aruba and sorry to hear that Allie was so sick. I was wondering why we didn't see you at the airport yesterday, but you were lucky that you weren't on our flight. We sat on the tarmac for two+ hours waiting for clearance to take off. Didn't make it home last night until after 11PM.
Wow! that looked like an awesome trip! I hope the Arnolds are invited next year :)
Every slide, I kept saying, wow, cool, wow, so jealous!!!!
Glad Allie is better have a Merry Christmas!
