Our Summer Vacation

It's been so long! We've all been so busy. We visited Aruba for two weeks to see family and for pleasure, and had a blast. Son and Daughter were exposed to Aruban culture, language and people, and it was great to see him interact with my family members, whom he had never met previously. The beach was gorgeous, I was so spoiled growing up there. The aquamarine waters, breeze and white, soft sands.. aahh.  The waters are so clean too, especially compared to our neck of the woods. The kids also enjoyed the cave at Ayo and its Paleolithic markings, and Indian drawings in the Fontein cave. It was fun climbing the huge boulders at Casibari and Ayo, and see the whole island. The kids rolled around on the sand in the sand dunes and spent hours at the beach. We also saw a Cultural show at Fort Zoutman that brought me a lot of memories -- typical music, folklore and history. I can't believe I hadn't visited in almost seven years!  I'll try to make it at least every two years from now on. Here are some beach pictures from our wonderful trip.
