Charlie and I just got back from Turks and Caicos. We will be celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary in August and decided a getaway was in order. It was the most amazing trip and having time to ourselves without the kids was so nice. Of course this was possible with the help of both sets of grandparents that took such good care of the kids. Thank you guys for making it possible!
Turks and Caicos, which is just east of Cuba, was beautiful... as most islands are. Our section, Providencialis, was only about 36 square miles with the most picture perfect beaches, friendliest people, amazing food and ideal weather. Charlie and I love the ocean. How can you not. And all the tropical plants are beautiful . Not to mention our resort, Seven Stars, was absolute luxury. If the kids had been with us I think it would have been hard to leave!
We packed our 6 day stay with sailing, kayaking, scuba diving, biking, shopping, lots of eating, and exploring the island. And yes in between all of that we still managed to lay back, relax and lounge by the water. It was just what we needed to celebrate us.
