Our first port was Amber Cove, in the Dominican Republic.
The town is small & there isn't a whole lot to do in the area other than the beach! We went with the Colvin family, Mom and Dad, and Quincy & Collin to a small fairly secluded little beach really close to the port.
It was kind of perfect, because we didn't have to drive too far and the kids loved playing in the sand there!
Calvin stayed on the boat in the kiddie camp to make it a little easier since we didn't really have a plan other than "we'll find a beach and see what happens" (sometimes I really like when my vacation is like that)

Julie & I - getting ready to work on our tans!
This was the great view of the ship we had from our secluded little stretch of beach. Highlights of our beach trip included -
- Fun splashing & playing in the water
- A refreshing drink of coconut water offered by one of the locals (literal coconut water)
- seashell hunting
- playing in the sand, and for Wesley eating half of the beach
- Collin holding a monkey
- Sun and lots of vitamin sea!
Amber Cove was a great port! : )
Love seeing Wesley in his little English swimsuit. That got two kids wear!!! :-).
