Aruba!!!

"Aruba, Bahama, come on pretty mama!"  We are here!  We landed Friday afternoon to the beautiful place called Aruba.  Quickly rented our Mitsubishi Lancer (haha) and were on our way to the Marriott Ocean Club just in time to watch the sunset.  A couple beside us said we brought the nice weather with us.  They had been here for a week, with only one day of sun, the rest filled with clouds and rain.  We got back to our room to get ready for a nice dinner at Hadicurari (sp?).  Yesterday we spent the day on the beach, and walked to this nice quiet area a little ways down where we swam in peaceful ocean, just the two of us.  This place is absolute heaven.  Last night we went into town to have dinner at El Gaucho (the most amazing place to eat in the world).  We took my dad there for his birthday when we were here last October.  We were serenaded by a pair of guitarists who played the most amazing version of "Stairway to Heaven" we had ever heard.  It was so romantic!  This morning I was greeted by Andrew with the sweetest Mother-to-be Mother's Day card.  Ella seems to have grown so much in the past couple of days.  She has been kicking up a storm, and has been very entertaining for me and Andrew.  She keeps us laughing already, and I think she really likes it here:)  We had lunch on a dock that went right over the ocean, and could pretty much jump in and swim away afterward (obviously I didn't do that due to my current situation, but it looked fun!)  Andrew went running a couple of miles down the beach and found an amazing location that it seems only locals know about.  So he drove me there and we got to snorkel and relax on a little private beach (definitely going back there again).  I'm trying to get in all of the key things that have gone on so far.  Now we are off to dinner!  So far it has been the best honey/babymoon ever!  Ta-ta for now!
