Aruba

Mom and I just got back from a very quick, 4-day trip to Aruba for my friend, Katherine's wedding.  This was my first time being a bridesmaid and it was a real honor to be asked to be in her wedding.  

Here are some pictures of the hotel we stayed at, the Divi Pheonix.
The hotel rooms were mini-suites with a kitchen, living room, 2 bathrooms and a large king-size bedroom.


 The pool changed color at night.

Iguanas were everywhere!  They loved to hang out at the pool.  At one point we saw about 10 iguanas hanging out at the same place.  It was so crazy to see!
 This was the view from our balcony.

This is a picture from the hotel beach...very white, silky sand and clear, turquoise water.

Downtown Aruba....just a few pictures. 



Wedding Day!

My hair turned out great!
