Thanks to Brent's parents, we were able to spend the most amazing week in the Dominican Republic at the Dreams La Romana Resort and Spa. We had all-inclusive, which meant that every meal was all-you-can-eat, and it was such good food!
The temperature was in the high 80's every day and it didn't rain at all. Our typical day consisted of either laying on the beach or by the pool, tanning, getting in the water, tanning some more, falling asleep on the beach, then getting in the water again, and so on until the sun went down. Then we would get ready for dinner and choose one of 7 very fancy restaraunts to go to.
We had so much fun getting to know the Entertainment Team - they forced us to participate in every activity because we were practically the only American's there so they always noticed us, but it was a lot of fun! We won almost everything we competed in.
We went on an excursion that took us on a river boat ride (down the river that Jurassic Park, Rambo 2, and Anaconda were filmed on), a visit to a tourist village, shopping in La Romana, and a boat ride to Catalina island off the coast for some snorkeling! Brent said it was pretty lame compared to some snorkeling he has done in other places, but I thought it was the coolest thing ever! This was my first time doing anything like that and it was so much fun! It took me a while to get used to being so close to fish, but I got the hang of it eventually.
The whole trip was absolutely amazing and we are so sad to be back in cold, snowy Utah. We will always remember our memories there!
