We were off on another adventure. This time to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. We met up at Miami Airport to begin our journey.

For those who haven’t traveled to the Dominican Republic, you have to fill out paperwork on line to board the plane. You also need to fill out paperwork to leave the country. It all gets very confusing so start early.

Alas we arrived at our hotel, the Royalton Bavaro in Punta Cana. It is an all-inclusive resort.
We booked a family suite to accommodate the three of us.



The resort has so much to offer. We all went to check out the beach and the water was quite rough.

The sun was almost setting with a vivid pink sky promising a beautiful tomorrow.

Kadyn and I went for a swim in the infinity pool while Lauren went to the gym. The swim up bar was closed for the night.

We stopped briefly to check out this swim area we called the cave. It actually was part of the lazy river.

For dinner, we decided on Zen, a restaurant specializing in Japanese cuisine. It was a lot of fun and Kadyn even cooked a bit!

After dinner, we watched a Michael Jackson Tribute Show.

And some great break dancing.

It was a wonderful first day.
Tuesday we slept in and then headed to the gym.


We stopped at the cafe for a coffee and some pastries.

And off to the beach.

We relaxed on comfy loungers under a thatched roof umbrella. The ocean was lovely. Many vendors came by to sell their wares but not overly aggressive. One guy had an entire garment rack.

We spent time in the pool afterwards and went around the lazy river.

We were served virgin pina coladas in pineapples.

For dinner, we ate at Rios, a Brazilian steakhouse. It was memorable because the good was so bad.

We watched a late night show and then off to bed.
