jamaica..

goodness.. i am so behind on blogging!! going to try and get all caught up over the next week! 

in december, we headed to jamaica with rob's family. we were celebrating pat & bob's anniversary as well as pat's birthday! we had so much fun! aunt shalani, elliot, and oliver came from paris- it was so nice to have the whole family together! the only thing missing was ivan :-( we missed you, ivan!

we have been to jamaica several times, but never before to ocho rios. it was gorgeous. it is about 2 hours from the airport, and well worth the drive!

we stayed at the beaches resort in boscobel. it is very family friendly and totally caters to kids. i am talking huge water park and elmo parades every night. robert had a blast! he would wake up every morning saying "slide" or "boat". we were lucky enough to stay right on the beach so it was super easy to come and go. robert liked the sand and ocean, but loved the pools! there was no getting him out! 

here are some pictures from our vacation :-) prepare for the overload..

digging in the sand in his super cute hat!

i am sorry the pictures are all out of order.. and that there are so many of them ;-) looking at these pictures just makes me wish we were there again! it is cold and rainy here! we had such a good time and loved being with family! hopefully, we can make this an annual thing ;-)
