Greetings from Aruba

PinSave

Just popping in to say hi from Aruba.

Aruba sand and ocean

We made it after a long travel day from California, about 22 hours door-to-door, and Skylar traveled like a champ.

We went to the grocery store, stocked up on the essentials, including fresh produce and enough butter and sugar to get into some serious baking trouble fun.

I cleaned up the house because after 6 months of non-use it needed it.

And then got into a baking project that kind of reminds me of these. Family’s gotta eat, right?

Cinnamon-Sugar Crust Cream Cheese and Jelly Danish Squares

Then we hit the beach.

Don’t you just want to dive in?

Water at Aruba's beach

We’re off for a sunset walk now.

Thanks for the Bella Bars Giveaway entries

What was the best part of your day?

  1. Wow, you are a trooper to be able to clean the house after such a long trip!! I would just need to lie on the sand doing nothing for 48 hours after such a long journey. :)

  2. Woah – that’s a loooong trip. Hope you’re having fun – I can’t get over that crystal clear water!!

  3. Your pictures are just beautiful. I can’t wait to see more of Aruba and the fantastic things you make while there!

  4. Hope you are getting used to east coast time, Averie!! A sunset walk… sounds incredible to me right now. Today, it’s sweltering in Baltimore. I need an ocean breeze! And OMG I can’t wait to see that recipe you hinted at. Anything similar to those danish squares has me giddy. I love those things. I have to make them with my crescent dough sitting in my fridge!

    1. you’re going to die – so good and easy! But in the meantime, best use ever of a crescent roll tube is that danish! Stay cool in the heat. It’s 90F here but it’s not “that” bad b/c kid you not, Aruba has a 25mph+ wind “light breeze” at all times!

  5. So jealous!! I was fortunate to spend a week in Aruba in January!!! Absolutely loved it!! And no the pics do not do it justice. Enjoy!!

  6. Glad you made it safely!!!
    The best part of my day was relaxing on the couch with some of your white chocoalte puppy chow and watching a movie with the boy!

  7. Don’t I want to dive in? Um, YES!!!

    Baking before hitting the beach?!? Impressive. Single girls don’t do that. ;)
