Maycation!

Summertime is here! Ok, I know it's been here for a little bit but I wanted to back up to show some pictures of how Jim and I kicked off summer 2013! We celebrated our first anniversary May 18 and went Punta Cana, Dominican Republic as a little second annual honeymoon! Our sweet friends Natalie & Paul have been before, so they were able to recommend a wonderful all inclusive resort so I didn't have to spend the few months before reading every review for every hotel to see which one would have the best food & drinks (obviously the most important part). We stayed at the Hard Rock Punta Cana and would definitely go back again!

The week right before our vacation was Jim's Dad's wedding, so it worked out for us to drive to Georgia so the pups could stay with their grandparents and we could fly out of Atlanta. We had a great time at the wedding, although we wished we could have stayed longer!

In typical Ashley fashion, I realized that I forgot my camera once we were just too far away from the house for it to make sense to go back and get it...so iPhone pictures is was! Really Jim and I both aren't too into pictures anyway so it didn't matter too much. I'd rather enjoy myself there without posing for 100 of the same picture in front of different restaurants/pools/exotic animals anyway. Here's a few of the highlights, and I apologize for the crazy phone camera eyes in most of the pictures :)

View from our room - so pretty!

Jim and the massage huts that were part of the spa- I'd like one in my backyard please!
 










Such a great vacation! And how exciting that we made it through the first year!
