Flying Fishbone – Aruba

Aruba is a gorgeous island. We all know that. But to make it even more picture perfect, my boyfriend planned a “surprise” dinner for us. How romantic :) Except, I ruined the surprise. A week before our vacation I mentioned to him a restaurant we should try – it was recommended by a friend of mine. His face was priceless and he just couldn’t stop laughing. Fail. I knew right then and there that the Flying Fishbone was where he had made reservations for and I was quite excited. Until the big night, we referred to it as the restaurant that we “might”  be going to.

As we were welcomed by the hostess, the big question was… “Would you like your feet in the water or in the sand?” Seriously.

This is what greets you as you walk through the entry way.

The view from our table!

I always love to start with a Cosmo…and this martini glass is just fab.u.lous.

Marandi – Aruba

Gorgeous sunset view? Check. Unique atmosphere? Check. Amazingly delicious cocktails? You bet. Did I mention the food? Oh. My. Goodness.

"Aruba's Sunset Restaurant"

On the wonderful island of Aruba, Marandi is an open-air palapa hut located directly above the ocean. It took only a short drive from the main hotel area to get there, which was great. I loved that it was close by but you still felt like you were getting away and enjoying the peaceful seaside.

simply enchanting

Scratch Baking Co. – S. Portland, ME

I am one lucky girl! Many of my friends have moved away and love having frequent visitors – where I absolutely take them up on this. It’s given me a great opportunity to see parts of our country that otherwise I would probably not have visited so far in my “young adult” life.

My best friend Kathryn has settled down in South Portland, Maine. Every time I spend a weekend, we make a point to walk to a local bakery for a delicious cup of coffee and wonderfully fresh baked goods. Here’s a post from my last visit to this must-stop location!

How cute is this place???

Fresh baked bread...doesn't get much better.

The Turtle Club – Naples, FL

Traveling is something I love to do and do it often. My family vacations in Naples often. The Turtle Club on Vanderbilt Beach is, easily, one of our favorite places. You can’t beat the amazing food, feet in the sand and the sun setting over the ocean.

Can't beat the view.
