“Aruba, Jamaica…”  The Beach Boys had it right.  Aruba is my island, too–for sun, smoothies and water sports.  Every January, my family spends a week with a core group of good friends who come from across the U.S.  Slathered in SPF 70 (that’s me), it’s a time to catch up–kind of like an annual extended family bonding retreat.  Here, a few of my favorite shots from our trip:

Stacked colorful bracelets, smoothies with fresh fruit, yoga on the beach…this place has my heart.

Brother/sister stand up paddle boarding…a collaborative sporting success.

And, the most beautiful sunset.

But, now back in NYC, I’m shivering right along with you! (Spring is coming soon, right?!)
