A Little Slice of Paradise

So what I failed to mention in the last (debut) post is that I'm not at home this week.  I'm actually in the Dominican Republic with my family for a week-long vacation.  My dad, step mom, siblings and I are down here with my grandparents though Saturday and it's amazing.  Right now I'm sitting out on our balcony enjoying some "me" time before everyone else wakes up.  I've caught the end of a sunrise both mornings so far and they've been beautiful.  I love having this time to regenerate myself before the day....

The weather is stunning; my Minnesota winter-parched skin is loving the humidity down here. :)  The waves on the beach are absolutely gorgeous (both in sight and sound.)  The one draw back is diet wise.... all inclusive = difficult to restrain myself.  It's hard to limit how much you eat when everything available is laid out in front of you, for "free."  The good side to being down here is it's all pretty healthy I think.  Sure, there are fries and ice cream and cake.  But those are pretty obvious things to avoid.  There is also quite a bit of fresh-picked delicious fruit and the rest of the options do seem pretty healthy.  Lots of fish and grilled chicken. YUM.

Anyway, I think my family is finally starting to wake up so I'll go see if I can find someone to walk over to breakfast with me.  Happy Monday!
