Aruban Bar Trip

After graduating from law school and finishing the grueling task of studying and taking the Bar, it is customary to take a fun trip before starting work in the fall. Well, technically, Kevin and I have been taking one long extended two month Bar Trip with weeks spent at both of our hometowns of Yorba Linda, CA and Cedar City, UT - but we did take an "official" Bar Trip to Aruba a few weeks ago (I am so far behind in my blogging!) and it was AWESOME!

Without a ton of money to spend, we didn't have a lot of options for our vacation, but thankfully, my parent's had an extra timeshare week that we were able to trade in for a week at the Marriott Surf Club Resort in Aruba and all we had to pay for were the flights, food, and souvenirs - thanks Mom and Dad!

Our condo had a full kitchen, so we took a bus ride to the grocery store and ate mostly in our room to save money



View from our balcony

Our resort had several pools and even a water slide (Kevin's favorite!)

But my favorite part was the lazy river :)


We were right on the ocean and loved taking walks along the turquoise water

Iguanas were everywhere!


The end of another day in paradise

Aren't parents with timeshares awesome!! Greg's parents have one and that's how we did our Honeymoon.
