A couple's getaway!

We've been married for almost 15 years 
& it was about time to get away
from our parenting & work roles
& have some fun & relaxation!

We booked an all-inclusive getaway to the 
Dreams La Romana in the Dominican Republic.

Several couples went along for the fun too...
Mike & Em
Anthony & Kayla
Marcus & Molly
Jamie & Shannon

We spent the night before our flight crammed into a hotel room 
by the airport since the weather was bad
& we definitely didn't want to miss our flight!
It was flu season so we decided to wear protective gear!
Who wants to be sick on vacation? NOT US!
Another passenger was not breathing well on the flight
so Luke had to help, leaving me with full leg room!
Starting to see teal sea water!
At the beach.  Soaking up the sun & beautiful calm water.
We had way too much fun!
We found out from the 'Ohio group' that due to our 
dancing, singing, drinking skills at the nightly resort performances
we were known to others at the resort as 'Minnesota'!
Every night we lived up to our reputation!
(The unlimited free drinks had a lot to do with it)
A late night snack!
Floating in the warm water!
Back out having fun at night!
