 Getting strapped in 

We had 8 lines, and it lasted about 45 minutes.  We had to climb up to the top of each lookout.  I thought a few were too high but Jared loved it!

Punta Cana,

a few days after Sara's wedding, Jared and I belatedly celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary with a week long trip to Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic.  We arrived on the 23rd, but just got dinner and walked around to acquaint ourselves.  We stayed at the Secrets Royal Beach in Punta Cana.

85 degrees daily, rarely rained.  all inclusive, no kids.  7 days.  Truly a Vacation
On Tuesday our vacation really began
