Arrived home in the wee small hours yesterday, Sunday from a great vacation with my three children, one daughter in law and two sons in law.
We had a great time in the Dominican Republic for seven days, lots of fun, laughs, food and drinks. Most of all we made some wonderful memories.
This was the first vacation that my children had taken together since 1977, forty nine years ago.
DD1 and hubby, did parasailing, something they had never done before and which can now be taken off their bucket list. DD2 and hubby, did a day long city tour. Both were enjoyed by all. Son and daughter in law were not interested in doing a tour, so they along with me had a quiet day, reading and swimming. Taking lots of photos, swimming, long walks on the beach, reading, eating and drinking were done with all of us together during the vacation.
We all met up for breakfast and dinner every night at the al a carte restaurants having, Italian, Mexican, American and Japanese and of course the buffet.
At the Teppanyaki restaurant I was recruited to cook the meal for everyone at our section, lots of fun, and laughter while I was trying to do my best. After I had done my cooking, DD2's hubby was then recruited to cook,, more laughs, it was a great night.
We are still taking to each other, and discussed a possible family vacation again, but one thing we did decide was to have a family reunion. A reunion, hopefully later this year, which will include everyone in my late sister's family too.
Now back to reality, did some grocery shopping yesterday, laundry today, then out for lunch with two friends from the quilt guild I belong to. We made a trip to a garden centre which had a lot of their plants displayed. A Hosta and a potted rose left with us.
Have a great day
Cheers.
