This year marked our 10th wedding anniversary and we wanted to celebrate by taking our first trip away from our four kids for some much-needed rest and relaxation. When it came to picking a destination I had three requirements. I wanted an international beach destination outside of the hurricane belt. Aruba was the perfect fit!
