DoMiNiCaN RePuBLiC.

Remember my sneak peak?? 
Well here it is!
The Mister worked and still works so hard for our family and was rewarded this fabulous trip to the 
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC!
We were there for 6 relaxing days.
We literally sat by the pool all.day.long.
The resort was awesome to say the least. 
Ours rooms were big and spacious with a gi-norm jetted tub.
We had Pina Colada's and Miami Vices up the wazoo.
The food was ok, but once we started making reservations at the speciality restaurants,
it got so much better!
We had the big Cintas reward dinner one of the nights, where everyone dresses up all fancy schmancy.
Enough rambling from me.....here are the pics i took.
Again i decided to leave the nice camera home, so the picture quality isn't great.
I think its time to upgrade the point and shoot.
The Aeroport.
small, humid, and very unorganized.
President Club dinner and recognition night.
Our region.
The same crew as last yr made it back!
Mitch, Tori, James, me, Boss Ross and Taren.
The recognition dinner was sooooo long this yr.

It was so long because we had to honor the Diamond Level Reps too.
And Mitch reach diamond again this year and he reminded us of it often :)
 As the banquet finished, the resort was having a little party of its own
and whatta ya know,  Michael Jackson reincarnated.
Taren helped me will and deal with this guy for some Laramar jewelry (sp?)
Poor James was not allowed to get his hand wet due to his surgery.
I felt so bad for him. It was painful for him.
 The Majority of the Cintas peeps hang out at the poolside bar the.whole.day.
James and Mitch were also at the bar......getting Pina coladas and cokes, one after another.
 The Brashers joined us the last few days.
They are friends of Tori and Mitch and Chris served a mission in the D.R.
The Resort had a casino. Yipee.
James and Mitch won a few hundo their first go around.
The next few go arounds not so great.
They both still left ahead thank goodness, but i played roulette and tried to slowly win back james' our losses. Slow and steady wins the race. I earned back half. But like i said we still left ahead.
See those stacks of black chips??? Yep, all my winnings :) 
 When we walked out of our room we were always greeted by this beautiful scenery.
 Good Bye Dominican.
It was fun.
Thanks to james for earning this fabulous relaxing trip.
And thanks to my mom and Aunt Nikki for watching the kiddos!
