Photo Week, Day 2 of 7: Punta Cana

Jerry and I are going on vacation for a week (well, I say "vacation", but we're really just taking care of my sister's dogs at her house in Rockford, Illinois. This will be the longest we've been away since 2014 when we took a family vacation to Punta Cana!

To truly take a break from reality, I'm going to do something a little different this week. I've had a daily post streak going since January 1, 2020, and I really don't want to break that! So, I thought it might be fun to do a travel theme for each day and share some pictures from different trips I've been on. Each day will have a theme based on the location of the trip.

I'm preparing these posts ahead of time so I won't have to even open my computer while I'm gone. (I can still approve comments from my phone, though.) And hopefully when I get home, I'll have some good stuff to share :)

These photos are from our family trip to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic in August 2014. Jerry and I took the boys, and they were surprised by a visit from Aunt Jeanie when we arrived ;) This trip was the first time I ever wore a bikini--and I wrote about it in this post. Here goes, in no particular order...

This staff member really liked Eli. He gave her a dollar bill folded into a ring and she started calling him her boyfriend ;)

I have a full page of travel adventures--way too many to list this week--and they can be found here.

Photo Week, Day 1 of 7: Tennessee

In no particular order, these are photos from our family trip (my parents and siblings as well) to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee in April of 2011, when we rented a big cabin. (You can read all about this trip starting with this post.)

The story behind this is kind of funny--you can read about it on this post.

Meme Monday

As you know, memes have been my therapy when I'm having a bad day. I love them! And lately, I've especially been loving the memes that are made from stock photos and they're usually really bad dad jokes or puns. So here are some recent ones I came across that made me laugh and hopefully they'll make you laugh, too! :)
