Yesterday, I participated in Wordless Wednesday with my post: Aruba

Today is Tell Me Thursday...time to take the less out of wordless.

I took these pictures on our weekend getaway to Aruba.

For those of you familiar with the island, the first picture is just past the Marriott on the way to the lighthouse.  It's NEVER that rough on this part of the island.  The waves were crashing into the shore.  The locals claim that this only happens on Good Friday and Easter Sunday.  To be honest, all was calm again on Monday, weird.  I've been going to the island for years and have never seen waves like this on the high rise section of the island.

You can't really see it on the small picture, but my shadow is in the bottom right corner.  You can really see me when it's bigger.  Very cool shot. 

The second picture...can you believe those colors?!?  The picture doesn't do justice even and it's still beautiful.  This is what I think of when I close my eyes and try to send myself back to Aruba.  Such as, when I'm in line for a latte freezing my butt off here in NH, or when BamBam had to get an IV.  It's my happy place.

The others were obviously a sun set.  Gorgeous.  A sailboat and birds seemed to come around at just the right time to make it post card perfect.

We seem to be one step closer to living there every time we go.  The big question is...how many step away are we currently?  How many more trips will it take before we take the leap and move there?

Found out that vaccines are not a requirement for school.  Bonus.  That could have been a deal breaker.  The funny thing is that they seemed very surprised by me even asking the question.  Not because we don't vaccinate our kids, but because it's a personal choice and shouldn't be forced upon parents as a condition for school.  AMEN.
