BFF Vacation

in All Posts

What do you have when you put two long-distance BFFs and their husbands together for one whole week in the Dominican Republic?

 

The makings of a wonderful, much-needed vacation!  My father-in-law is taking care of our house and dogs while we are gone, so I can’t wait to just RELAX.  It’s going to be a sunny, sandy, and very Piña Colada kind of week.
