Baby, Why Don't We Go...Jamaica

Remember the Beach Boys song, "Kokomo?" Here's the lyrics if you don't remember it:

Aruba, Jamaica ooo I wanna take you
Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go
Jamaica

Off the Florida Keys
There's a place called Kokomo
That's where you wanna go to get away from it all
Bodies in the sand
Tropical drink melting in your hand
We'll be falling in love
To the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in Kokomo

Aruba, Jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to Kokomo
We'll get there fast
And then we'll take it slow
That's where we wanna go
Way down to Kokomo
To Martinique, that Monserrat mystique

We'll put out to sea
And we'll perfect our chemistry
By and by we'll defy a little bit of gravity
Afternoon delight
Cocktails and moonlit nights
That dreamy look in your eye
Give me a tropical contact high
Way down in Kokomo

Aruba, Jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to Kokomo
We'll get there fast
And then we'll take it slow
That's where we wanna go
Way down to Kokomo
Port Au Prince I wanna catch a glimpse

Everybody knows
A little place like Kokomo
Now if you wanna go
And get away from it all
Go down to Kokomo

This song has been on my mind recently because we are going to JAMAICA in April to celebrate our second anniversary!! After a lot of careful research by my wonderful husband who loves to do research to make sure we're getting the best deal possible (I hate to reasearch!), we finally booked our trip and are ready to go! 

We'll be flying out of Springfield on Sunday, April 15, and flying back on Saturday, April 21, so will be there a full 6 nights. We are going to an all-inclusive resort called Couples San Souci, Jamaica. We went to an all-inclusive resort in Mexico for our honeymoon and loved it. All-inclusive is definitely the way to go! This resort has several activities included, like snorkeling, off-site shopping tour, glass bottom boat tours, waterskiing, golfing, and many other activities. The restaurants at this resort have received great reviews, too. 

It will be so fun to wake up on our anniversary, April 17, and take a walk on the beach together! Now if I could only speed time up....

just remember those Florida beach photos of little baby Ross sitting in the stroller with a hat on and a blanket covering all . . .
