Right here is the second of some recap posts on our spring break household journey to Aruba, together with our snorkeling journey with Jolly Pirates! Try half I right here. 

Easter Sunday

Ahoy there from the Hyatt Regency Aruba! Easter was smack in the course of our journey, and we had been excited to listen to that the Hyatt had an Easter egg hunt deliberate for the kiddos. (The Easter bunny visited our house in Cville, so that they received baskets there on our return.) 

Ready for the hunt to start out with Grammie!

There have been two sections: huge children and little children. However like most egg hunts, it was a madhouse and there have been a couple of tears after.

Everybody recovered, and we rallied for lunchtime by the pool!

I had fish tacos and a Balashi! 

Jolly Pirates

The spotlight of our journey for me was our afternoon snorkeling with Jolly Pirates! My sister did the reserving for us, and we had a superb time!! We climbed aboard this pirate ship (full with a pleasant crew!) and had enjoyable snorkeling at two completely different areas adopted by some rope swinging and a dance get together on the deck!

We traveled to 2 completely different snorkeling websites – the primary was a sunken ship from WWII. Taking a look at it underwater coated in barnacles was like trying on the Titanic! A bit creepy. The water was just a little tough, so the youthful youngsters stayed on board for that cease. 

After 20 minutes or so there, we climbed again aboard and sailed to our second web site, which was a calmer cove. 

These guys received in with their goggles and simply put their faces within the water to see the faculties of fish we swam by way of! I didn’t even use a life jacket right here as a result of the water was so salty you mainly float! 

The Rope Swing

A spotlight of a Jolly Pirates journey is the rope swing! Guess who was the very first particular person to go off of it?! Barbara Youthful!! 

Go Mazen Go!

The Flip

I requested one of many ship mate’s if he might do the flip. He instructed me provided that I used to be on his again! The subsequent factor I knew I used to be really on his again and he was telling me “DO NOT LET GO!” If you wish to see the video model, go to my Instagram story spotlight! It was unimaginable! 

On the way in which again, we had an open bar of Pirate’s Poison (and loads of NA choices for the children). And so they cranked the music for the dance flooring! 

A kind of magical afternoons on the water with the solar shining! 

After our snorkeling, we had been all exhausted and ended up having an off-the-cuff dinner on the resort whereas watching Duke (lose, sadly) in basketball. 

Quick ahead to the following day once we spent our time on the seaside and pool!

Pleased Hour

This smoked tequila drink was our favourite! 

Caya Home

For dinner, we walked into the city to Caya Home!

The ambiance within the outside courtyard was pretty!

I didn’t seize all of the meals we loved, but it surely was all scrumptious. Extra seafood! And yucca fries. 

Afterwards we strolled by way of the city a bit and received some ice cream for dessert! 

Thanks for following alongside! Half III is coming subsequent to wrap up our journey and share my last ideas and proposals!
