#MySisterSaidIDo (vacation part)

this is my first post of 2012...so its only  fitting to say: happy new year everyone!!!! i hope everyone had an awesome holiday season!!! as promissed im here to talk all about my trip to the fabulous island of st maarten for the princess' wedding to her prince charming!!! i think it might be too much to put it all in just one post...so i think im gonna break it up a little...so today im going to talk about the vacation part of the trip...then in the next few posts ill go into detail about the rehersal dinner...wedding...and christmas party...so stay tuned for those!



the bay i swam in every day

everything about the trip was amazing...we all had sooo much fun there...my days didnt consist of much...but after the insanity that i like to call bsbcruise 2011, the relaxation was def needed!...most days i woke up, got dressed and made my way over to the pool...it was a short stroll from our room on the first floor...when it got too hot to lay out, i went swimming in the crystal clear bay...and by swimming i mean floating...the water was very salty so eveyone was extra boyant...it was so easy to just relax and let the tide gently rock you back and forth...it was so peaceful out there...i never wanted to get out!...



our path to the pool

happy hour started every afternoon at 330...so everyday the mayor and i got 2 for 1 pina coladas...after that was nap time on the lounge chairs by the pool...quick side note, the first day i was back at work i sent the mayor a text at nap time and said "its nap time by the pool...why arent we napping and why arent we by the pool???"...haha!

after nap time we said goodbye to the pool and went back to the room to get ready for dinner...we went to a different place everynight...they


lounging by the pool

were all delish...i didnt have a bad meal the entire time...besides the rehersal dinner and reception dinner (i'll talk about those later) i think the best meal i had was at lunch the day after the wedding...i went to toppers on the beach and had a mahi ruben sandwich...omg! it was sooo good...i want to go back to st maarten right now just so i can eat that sandwich again!...haha!!!...




chatting on the deck

every night wrapped up with a bunch of us chatting away on someones deck...we sat and talked and laughed with everyone for hours...it was really great to be with everyone on vacation just relaxing and having fun!!!...

with just under 50 people there you always had someone to talk to or go somewhere with...i really love being with my family so anytime you stick us on vacation together we are bound to have a good time...

*please note that our next big trip is to punta cana in the fall of this year...everyone is welcome to come!!!!!

i guess thats it for the general vacation stuff...ill be back soon with the rehersal dinner...until then, happy blogging!

our party goes all the way to the front of the line...but we didn't want to go home!!
