Aruba

Aruba? You might be thinking, "But y'all were going to Turks and Caicos?!?" Well, thanks to Hurricanes Hanna and Ike, we had to change our plans 2 days before we were supposed to leave. There weren't a lot of tropical options out of the range of the hurricanes, so we went as far south as we could go and decided on Aruba. It ended up being a great trip. I was a little concerned about the 6 total hours of flight time (5 hours from New York), but Harper did great. She had a fever on the way down which made her lethargic and worked out GREAT! We were sad she felt bad, but it sure was nice that she slept most of it. The resort was great and we didn't see one drop of rain. Neither of us finished a book but we loved the time that we got to spend as a family.
