On Monday Mom and I decided to have a complete Down Day where we just hung out at the resort and enjoyed a day at the beach. We had a leisurely breakfast at our favorite little beach front restaurant and then went back to our hotel room to change into our exercise clothes and hit the gym! I taught Mom how to do the weight program I’ve been doing for several years and then we headed back to our hotel room to change into our bathing suits and hit the beach! We explored our resort a bit more taking the “long way” to the beach and as we did so we discovered some new fun areas. Then we spent the rest of the afternoon just soaking up some sun and reading in our magazines and books. When we got hungry we went up to the beach restaurant for lunch and then back down to read and rest some more. We also took a few dips in the water and swam out to the buoys as well. One of our favorite activities was people watching though and seeing the dynamics between groups. Right behind us was a big party group who looked to be from Brazil (at least I think they were speaking Portuguese) and then there was another group of girls that kept getting hit on by guys. It was so funny to watch them all interact. We loved our day spent at the beach though and ended the day with hot showers, nice naps in our hotel room, and a buffet dinner. Then we got to watch an awesome show the Resort put on that night with a Michael Jackson impressionist. He was nothing short of AMAZING! And if I didn’t know Michael had already passed away I would have thought it was him! The guy was incredible and danced and acted just like Michael. It was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen!
The rest of the evening we spent back in our hotel room reading books and talking to our families. Sure was a great day!
One of the many Resort Pools
These were hot tubs but they connected with the normal swimming pool. Pretty dang cool!
We sort of loved these big beds out on the beach. So peaceful and relaxing!
We saw these cute little animals on the way down to the beach. One of the passerbyers said they thought it was a lemur or from the lemur family.
Here is where we spent most of our day though. Under these shade tents overlooking the beach. We were both in HEAVEN!
The view from where we were sitting.
This is how we spent quite a few of our evenings. Just reading in bed or watching movies together.
We loved getting to have so much time to just RELAX.
Here we are getting ready to go out for dinner after our long showers, and naps!
Another perfect day in Paradise!
