A family trip to visit the Dominican Republic. After about 18 hours of traveling on our way there, and quite possibly the most chaotic plane ride I will ever know, we landed in Santo Domingo and made our way onto a two hour bus ride to La Romana. We eventually went back and spent some time in Santo Domingo to explore the oldest church in the area, Alcázar de Colón - Columbus' house, eat dinner in a cave and take a lonnnngg nap on the bus. The week was spent relaxing, swimming, snorkeling, and soaking up those sun rays I had been missing.
