Curacao...a Caribbean treasure

Curacao, part of the Netherlands Antilles in the Southern Caribbean, was a fantastic place to spend our Spring Break 2018! We stumbled across this little island paradise because our good friends have a condo on island, and they were gracious enough to let us use it for a week. We are eternally grateful to the Hogan's for their kindness and generosity! Over the course of week, we saw several beautiful beaches, ate some amazing food, and met some wonderful people. As is always the case on our travels, we felt as though we barely scratched the surface of all Curacao has to offer, and already thinking about plans to go back ;)

    One of the best ways to spend a day in Curacao. Head to Mambo Beach, find a beach bar, and the rest is pretty self explanatory :)

    Can't go to Curacao without having a few Blue Curacao cocktails. This was my favorite one from the trip. Kudos to Bij Blauw!

    We spent a day drinking mojitos and digging our toes in the sand at Hemingway Beach Bar (left hand side of photo). This whole area around and near Mambo Beach is fantastic and we definitely want to spend more time here on our next trip. Just look at that water!!!

    As we were walking to the Curacao Sea Aqaurium, Alex noticed this little plaza (he's an observant little guy...unlike his Dad!). So we naturally had to stop and take a picture. Love that smile :)

    Ever out exploring and stop dead in your tracks with “patio envy”? Well, this place in Curacao 🇨🇼 pretty much did that to me! Talk about a nice place for your morning coffee ☕️ or evening cocktails 🍹!!!

    Feeding the Lemon Sharks

    And here Alex gets to feed the massive lemon sharks! It was incredible to listen to these guys eat fish....glad we were on the other side of that glass window! They bite down so hard that they lose teeth nearly every time they feed...our guide dove down after we fed this shark and found a tooth that he just lost and gave it to Alex. How cool is that?
