After a week of exploring the nation’s capital and the Chesapeake Bay area, daddy and daughter took advantage of the direct flights offered on Southwest from Baltimore to Aruba!
It is true what they say about Aruba being One Happy Island.
Per usual, daddy and daughter snuck away from our little Airbnb and checked out the waterslides at some of the high end resorts.
The crystal blue waters and white sand beaches are some of the finest in the Caribbean.
But what some don’t know is that the island is quite dry and cacti thrive as well as palms.
On the less inhabited drier side of the island, we took a little road trip to the east coast.
Because of the lack of traffic, Zhenya got her first chance to drive all by herself!
Feeding the wild donkeys was a highlight of road trip around the island!
These trees are probably the most iconic symbols of Aruba and look good from pretty much any angle.
We were able to patch together an angel costume for Halloween, and Zhenya was able to celebrate All Saints with our landlord’s daughter.
