Brian and Ells: 1.5 Years and Counting...

We are so random. Like I mentioned in a previous blog, we like to celebrate our love anytime we can. We decided to take a trip to celebrate our 1.5 Year Wedding Anniversary. We stayed at a Dreams Resort in Punta Cana. The weather was BEAUTIFUL almost every single day. We were there for 4 nights, 5 days. If someone asked us to rate the food overall we would give it a 7 out of 10... not the best, but not the worst. Although we went to some restaurants that were a definite 10. It's sad, but we really do rate all of our food, whether we cook it here at home or are out at a restaurant. It just helps us keep up with our likes and dislikes. This resort was really fun and I think it would have been great for a big group of girls, like a fun Bachelorette party or something. It was a little too "wild" for us. Ask us that about 4-5 years ago and we would say differently. But I dunno, something about once you get married, you just settle down a little more. It's nice to be on this side of things though. We had tons of fun just us. We ate a different restaurant for every meal every day. We hung out on the beach, reading magazines or just talking. We spent time at the swim-up bar in the pool ordering different tropical drinks. We even got to play with a monkey. It was SO fun and the monkey was adorable (see pics below). It's hard to go on a trip like this after our A+ honeymoon in St. Lucia, because I think we will forever be comparing EVERY trip from here on out to that. St. Lucia was a 10 out of 10. Punta Cana was an 8 out of 10. We had a wonderful time, don't get me wrong! It is always nice to get away, not have to work, and not have to worry about anything. And of course, just be together...
