jared and i spent an entire week in paradise a couple of weeks ago to celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary. we stayed at couples - tower isle in ocho rios, jamaica. it was an all-inclusive resort which is nice because we didn't have any expenses once we got there. we spent our days in the shade due to the fact that the first day we got burnt to a crisp, reading, playing with the ipad and relaxing. i managed to get through three and a half books and nine magazines. i would love to get that much reading done every week. we also went snorkeling a couple times, which was so much fun. i had never done anything like that before and thought it was so cool seeing the fish and reefs up close and personal. we ended the week with a massage outside under the stars.
the food was fantastic. we ate breakfast every day at the buffet. i would get the same thing -- a bananarama smoothie, poached egg, two pieces of bacon and an english muffin. for lunch we would chill out at the veggie bar. all the food was fresh and they had a great variety light options. dinner was fantastic, the restaurant had a ton of options including the catch of the day which was always snapper. the best restaurant hands down was "8 rivers." the quality of food was insane and the meal we got there would cost us easily $125 here.
an added bonus to the trip, we flew through charlotte airport and i stumbled upon a pinkberry. it was pure bliss. while the frozen yogurt shops are multiplying here in WDM, nothing compares to the original pinkberry. the airport also had rocking chairs with big windows that you could stare out, for one moment i felt like i was in a nicholas sparks book. this airport quickly moved up to the number one spot on my list.
it was a wonderful trip and i am super grateful that we had the opportunity to travel and spend the week together.
ya mon.
