We took a couple of days off of work and headed south to Aqaba! The weather was warm, the water was cool, and we all enjoyed being by the pools and beach for a few days.
Beautiful sunset on our first evening.
The boys shared a room with my mom, and they enjoyed morning walks before breakfast.
The boys enjoyed the waterslide, which was good because it closed down for the rest of the trip. That pool was one of the not heated pools, and only Nathan and the boys swam in that one!.
Eliza was a little skeptical about the water the first day, but she had fun splashing around...to her defense, it was chilly, and this was the heated pool.
All smiles at the beach! Can you see her two bottom teeth popping up?
Meanwhile....
The hotel grounds were beautiful and they had a couple of restaurants near the pool. This was our favorite because the boys could hop in and swim while we waited for food to arrive.
View of the beach and the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt across the way.
View from the pier of our beach and hotel.
Benjamin was surprised to run into a good friend from class named Bunny. She is a sweet British girl that recently moved here a few months ago. So, for the rest of the trip, where Benjamin was, so was Bunny :).

Enjoying one last day at the beach. Each day the weather got warmer!
We had great sunsets at night.
We were glad to have the fun weekend away together, and to show my mom another part of Jordan!

Aqaba was a beautiful trip. Great fun spending such quality time with everyone. Loved the morning walks with our boys to the ocean, stopping at every pool we passed and then playing with the giant chess pieces. Eliza really took to the water and was a real trooper. Such incredible memories of a great vacation. Love you and miss you all 5 :):):):):)
