On December 8th through 12th, we spent several days in paradise at Turks & Caicos in the Beaches Resort for our close friends and Aubrey's godparents David and Michelle Vickers' Wedding. We also made it a 5-year wedding anniversary trip for Erica and I.
Just in case you guys didn't know where Turks & Caicos is located at, it lies withing the Caribbean, 550 miles southeast of Miami, Florida, just below the Bahamas chain and just to the east of Cuba and the island of Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti.) We traveled with Derek's godmother and Erica's BFF Nora, along with her daughter Bella, her Mother and Aunt V and good friend Armando. For this trip, we left Derek and Aubrey with the grandparents in San Diego for 5 days. This was the first time that we were away from our kids. We had a lot of fun while they had fun with their grandparents, but we also missed them so much towards the end of the trip.
Now about the trip...To summarize, we ate an unlimited supply of really awesome food, including jerk chicken and pork, steamed cabbage, sushi, fish, endless breakfast buffets, burgers, onion rings and a habachi-style grill. Not only was the food great and unlimited, but also the alcohol was all inclusive. It was great to not have to worry about paying for drinks or tipping. The concept of paying for drinks now is insane! Some of the drinks we had were BBC's (Baileys, Bananas, Colada Mix), Bahama Mommas, pina coladas, Frangelico, Caribbean Islands(long island iced tea with a bunch of random rums), tequila, sake bombs and others. We also did a bunch of activities including riding a hobie cat boat, snorkling and chilling at the beach.

Overall, the trip was amazing! Not only were we there to for David & Michelle's special day, but we also had an awesome vacation. We would totally go back to Turks & Caicos and highly recommend it to anyone!
