I say Ta-bay-go...you say To-bah-go...



It has been ages since we arrived home from our amazing Tobago holiday. But it's about time I blog about it. I've already posted 60 photos on my Facebook page, but I'm going re-post many, if not all of them here. Why duplicate you ask? The simple answer: because I can. Just thank your lucky stars I'm not putting all 650 on here because that is how many I came home with. And that WASN'T including Veronica's!

So, if by chance you find yourself bored out of your mind...check out the other posts I've finally published. Or if you happen to be one of those that is hating us because you're jealous just keep this in mind -- we're going back next year. (tee hee!)

Day 1 and upon arrival...the girls immediately threw all their stuff on the floor, found their bathing suits and proceeded to investigate the pools. There were three and each became quite endearing in their own unique way. The smallest was the hot tub which was never warmed up because there was absolutely no need. It was perfect for the girls to play in and was fun because it backed up to the koi pond. The second, one of the infinity pools was used the most frequently as it was the perfect depth for both of the little dippers. The third was also an infinity pool but was pretty deep and therefore much cooler than the others. It was perfect for cooling off after baking in the Caribbean sun.

Pool number 2 and our gazebo overlooking the semi-private beach we called ours.

Day 2 through the end is a bit of blur now. There was sun, swimming and really lounging about. We were in charge of our own breakfasts and lunches but dinners were taken care of by our house manager Rena.
The picture in the sand is supposed to be Veronica
(trust me guys...she's MUCH cuter in person!!)




The bat cave where our little friends would sleep all day...no,
not the girls...literally bats that would swoop in to the house (it had no walls)
and visit us while we'd eat dinner

The house from the beach...I just can't wait to get back there!!!



Day 3 through day 8 was pretty much a blur too (especially since it's now July and I'm finishing up this post). All I can really say is that it was spectacular and the kids are desperate to return. It truly was heaven on earth and we had an absolute blast. We didn't even leave the house except for food and some new Havianna flip flops. It wasn't worth missing what we had there...all of it to ourselves and all of us together. How can you beat that???

Me right after my terribly wonderful massage out on the gazebo overlooking the ocean.



One of my most favorite photo's I think I've ever taken. It encapsulates every ounce of our holiday in it.

This koi in the massive pond surrounding the front of the house.

The meditation room (with no roof).

The view one evening out our bedroom.


The ultimate holiday experience. Poor Anderson...but I couldn't help myself...can't wait to show these at his rehearsal dinner one day!!





The main hanging out space...if I look at this picture long enough, I can still remember the sound of the ocean below and the smell of the air around us. This place was definitely a zen-like experience!



Anderson looks very rested and relaxed after an incredible vacay!

...you know we did.
And we can't wait to do it again.
