Wade and I just returned from our 10th anniversary getaway (belated) to Aruba and let me tell you...mentally I'm still there!
Right now I'm SO missing this:
This was the view from our balcony. I can't help but stare at it longingly now! I'm also missing this:
My wardrobe for the week! Nothing better than rolling out of bed after an uninterrupted 10 hours, throwing on a swimsuit and heading to the beach. No schedule. No responsibilities. No make up! Yes, Aruba was fabulous! The beach and the resort were beautiful, but the best part was just having Wade all to myself for a few days!
We didn't do much...spent most of our time in a lounge chair under a palapa on the beach, relaxing on a float out in the Caribbean, or cooling off in the pool. Actually, we probably spent the more time than anything people watching...and there was no shortage of worthy subjects!
Here's a few pictures I managed to take between naps...
We ate dinner on the beach while we watched the sun go down...
The sunsets were amazing!
We had a couple of pretty good storms blow through, thanks to hurricane Igor. They were usually pretty short lived, but kept things exciting!
Besides, storms make for great sunsets! 
We also took a sunset cruise...expected to watch the sunset with the wind blowing through our hair while sipping virgin pina coladas from the "open bar"...turned out to be more of a hot, sticky, float (seriously, we were hardly moving) and the coconut milk in the pina coladas had gone bad. Oh well, at least we were together!
In the end, it was a wonderful, much needed break from lives that have been a little overwhelming as of late. Wade left his laptop at home and I, all things autism. We just spent time doing completely selfish things! We've been home for 4 days. Is it too soon to start planning another escape??!!
