Roatan - Maryruth's 30th

Ah, there is nothing like spending some quality time with warm ocean water and sand. It is the best way to forget that you're getting older.

Jeffrey planned a surprise trip for us to celebrate my (Maryruth) 30th birthday. He took us to Roatan, a tiny island of about 50,000 people in Honduras. It was perfect.

The beaches were really the best part - warm weather and clear skys, tourquoise water that was just warm enough to get in, but also cool enough to refresh, lots of lounging chairs and friendly servers who brought us tasty, iced beverages... perfect.
