Oberoi Family Vacation In Jamaica!

We decided that we needed a break so we packed up and headed to Jamaica for some relaxation. We spent all of our time either at the beach or the pool. We all had a great time.
Isha loved spending time in the water!! She got an amazing tan the first day were there!! We brought the DVD player so when we weren't playing outside we let Isha watch movies in the room to keep her occupied. Diya spent all of her time in the shade either eating, sleeping or just looking adorable. The hotel had a playground area and Isha enjoyed playing with Clifford and making some friends on one of the cool and windy days. The weather was perfect while we were there. We only had one cool day and a few days of rain. It was nice because the temperatures were in the mid 80's so it wasn't hot and miserable!
Isha enjoyed her Pina Coladas until we realized that every time she had one she was covered in hives. After two trips to the nurses office for Benadryl she had to switch over to Strawberry Daiquiris. Poor thing! She also had to have a doctor come to the resort to see her because she had pink eye. That bought her 5 days of eye drops which she wasn't to fond of at first, but after the first few days she didn't seem to mind them. Thank goodness none of the rest of us got it. Diya was such a good baby the entire trip. She did amazing on the plane and she loved just hanging out on the beach or by the pool. I was worried about the sleeping arrangements, but she did pretty good. With lots of nursing and letting her sleep with me we got a pretty decent amount of sleep. Plus we spent every afternoon in the room napping so none of us were sleep deprived.
We did a little shopping and got both of the girls sun dresses from Jamaica. I hope that they will still fit this summer so that they can wear them again because they are so cute.
Every morning before breakfast we would claim our spot in the shade so that Diya and I wouldn't burn to a crisp!! Here is a picture of our pool and the beach. There was a little island that you could wade over to and there were boats out there with souvenirs and a lady that braided hair.
Isha loved playing in the sand. She met a cute little boy, Ethan, that she spent an afternoon with making sand castles and playing in the ocean.
We really enjoyed our trip. The ocean was beautiful and it was nice to have such a wonderful change of scenery especially since there was a huge snow storm at home! The Jamaican people were so friendly and always had something nice to say to the girls. The jerk pork and strawberry daiquiris were amazing, but most of all it was fun to watch the girls enjoying themselves!!!
