Friends, if you ever have the chance to go to a Sandals, I highly recommend it. We had a fabulous time. It was beautiful, tropical, indulgent, relaxing, and every other descriptive thing you could hope for in a kid-free vacation. I really didn't take enough pictures, and I think it's one of those places that's difficult to convey anyway, but here are a few examples:

The view from our room

the view from our breakfast table

the view from our favorite spot at the pool

view from chaise back toward the buildings

checking our stash - minibar was refilled daily

Thank you, Jeff, for planning an incredible anniversary trip. Can't wait to see where we go after another ten years!
