Just as you read the title I am sure the lyrics of Kokomo by the Beach Boys went through your head..."Aruba, Jamaica, ooo I wanna take you..." I think I sang this song all week up until the point we left! Aruba was always one of those places Kyle and I wanted to visit. Everyone we talked to had raved about the beautiful water. Thanks to two free round-trip tickets compliment of Air Tran, Kyle and I were able to spend 4 days in Aruba. We like to call it our babymoon since it was our last trip with just the two of us, but it also doubled as our five year anniversary which we will be celebrating in May. It was a very relaxing trip, and Kyle and I had so much fun together. Shortly after Kyle and I married, we decided we would take a trip together every year with just the two of us. These trips have created such wonderful memories, and benefit our marriage in so many ways. Kyle and I both love to travel, and we just have the best time discovering new things together. Aruba was no exception, and we are so thankful we got to get away for a few days. We had such a great time every night over dinner just enjoying each others company and the conversation. Things are always so rushed at home, so it was nice to have so much free time to relax and talk. Not to mention that Aruba was BEAUTIFUL!!! It was sunny and in the 80's every day, and the water is absolutely gorgeous! Hope you enjoy the pictures of our trip, and no you will not see any of me lounging in a swimsuit!
The open table was reserved for us!

This was the beginning of Kyle's 3 hour tour! He went alone because I could

there was nobody to take a picture of him,
he got a picture of Goonie instead!
