more punta cana...

So I'm not sure what pictures to put on here so I will only do the ones that will somewhat interest you all.

The Resort
{The Grand Palladium at Punta Cana}
This place was so well kept. The grounds were always so beautiful!


The Spa

This is where Randi and I got our spa treatments... SO relaxing!

One of our favorite finds!

HORSE-BACK RIDING ON THE BEACH!!

{if you plan on doing this wear PANTS. all that sand... not good for the legs}

Our guides climbed up a coconut tree at the half way point and picked us all our own coconut, opened them up, and we drank the juices... not my favorite but definitely a once in alife time thing! SO FUN!

Whoo Hoooo! Absolutely beautiful. Although those sad horses...not exactly what I pictured when you said you went horseback riding on the beach! I was thinking some great steed, and you galloping in the shore. So glad my girls had so much fun and time to relax and spend enjoying it all together.

Heidi...love love love the Dominican Republic! I'm so glad you had so much fun...those people are awesome! I remember all of the topless Europeans...you get used to it after a while. So funny though! Imagine going there with guys from BYU...a little strange...but funny. Do you get the banana mama on the beach? Or a drink in a pineapple shell? Hope so. Love ya lots!

I am just soaking in all these pictures. I have NEVER taken a trip like that. NEVER. And I could really use it about now. How fun for you two.

plus, I can't imagine your jet lag. That is a lot of flights in a short amount of time.

Horseback riding on the beach??!! Coconuts? Stop it! Just stop! I can't take it anymore--sooooooooooo dreamy (and I hate that expression, but it's really the only thing that fits!)
