Get us out of here!

We managed to escape one week of the horrible winter weather (just narrowly between storms I might add) with a wonderful trip to the Dominican Republic with our friends the Seymours.  While our friends had a less than fantastic vacation (due to a sick child) they really did make the best of their circumstances and we plan to do a joint vacation again sometime.  Hopefully another beach vacation next winter! I'm now the converted and don't want to do another ski vacation for a while HA.

We stayed in punta cana at the Melia Caribe and would highly recommend it to any families looking for a fun getaway.
