Living in Copenhagen during the winter has its problems...namely lack of sun, too much rain, and howling winds. At the worst of winter the sun was rising about 9am and setting around 3:30pm with most of the days comprising of overcast, cloudy days. So, when my mom decided this summer that she wanted to take an island vacation over the winter, I made sure that it worked into my schedule. Kelly was also able to get the time off and we all headed to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic for 5 days at the beginning of January.
The resort was lush and tropical with lots of peacocks and flamingos struting around, the people were incredibly friendly and hospitable, and the beaches were gorgeous! Though we did have one day of terrential winds and rain, we made the most of it with plenty of card games.
We spent most of our time hanging around the resort, walking and running on the beach, and relaxing by the pool, but we did have a fabulous snorkling expedition where we took "james bond style" 2 seater speed boats out to a reef to see some absolutely goregous fish.
Thanks for a great vacation Mom and Dad!!!
