Aruuuuba!

This post brought to you by Aruba Tourism Authority. All opinions are 100% mine.
Ok, this may seem like something totally random to start talking about-but can you say you don't want to go to Aruba?  If you can, you're crazy.  Here I am, sitting in front of a computer in my office dreaming of anywhere but here-as long as that anywhere includes gorgeous coastline and deep blue water.  Being landlocked here in Utah with a soul that calls for the sea definitely leads to some pretty strong Cabin Fever.  I want to go!  As for my dream destination is Aruba.  Wanna go?

Besides great destination shopping, nightlife, events, and activities for just about anyone-Aruba is a cultural melting pot of different cultures and culinary dreams.  There are so many different kinds of restaurants (ranging from casual to formal dining) as well as a diverse world of people to meet while you experience this gorgeous little island.  Local Carribean food would definitely be a fantastic reason for me to cheat on my diet a little-but then again, with all the adventures Aruba travel has to offer I'd probably break even with all that simming and climbing and running around!

Aruba's shoreline has such vast geographical differences which create a unique blend of land and sea adventures to be had.  From Horseback riding on the beach, to liesurly coastal walks, to over twenty miles of hiking terrain in Arikok National Park-there's a little something for everyone! If you're outdoorsy you can rent a bike and explore or go on a Jeep safari, and if you're not you can tour the island from the air-conditioned vehicle in comfort!  Aruba welcomes visitors of all types-and dares you not to fall in love with it.

So what do you think?  Check out aruba.com and leave me a comment telling me what you'd like to see if you ever visit-I want to know! :D

Pride Weekend & Books 'n' Bloggers Announcement

This weekend was a lot of fun. Saturday Kristina and Courtney brought baby Kat down and spent the night. It's been far too long since we've done this, so I was excited they did!  We spent Saturday night doing a little shopping, and then making Egg Rolls and painting our nails for Pride on Sunday.   The first two are my manicure-which was messy (hey I was drunk while painting them) and the second two are Kristina's nails, and Courtney's nails.

We were supposed to be in the Parade, but Ivonna (the Utah Cyber Sluts Madame) forgot to send us the address of where to meet up for it.  So we went to breakfast instead.

Here are my ladies modeling their Pride festival wear.  So cute! 

And here are a couple of at the festival.  I LOVE the first one of Kristina-it makes her look like this hippie momma taking the baby out to the festival.  The second one is Max and Josh.

On another note... Sign-ups for our incredibly popular Books 'n' Bloggers Swap over at Chaotic Goddess Swaps are now open.  If you're a book lover you should get in on this one.  You are partnered up with another book lover and you send them three books (one you love, one you haven't read but thinks sounds interesting, and one from your partner's wishlist) and receive three as well!  It's a lot of fun!
