Hello Friends!
I hope you are all doing well. Yesterday I returned from a trip to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. I stayed at the Luxury Bahia Principe Fantasia resort for five days with my boyfriend. It was a lot of fun and we really enjoyed the time to kick back, enjoy the sunshine, beach, pools and good food. We went on a Buggy excursion as well which was so much fun!

| We needed to cover our nose and mouths with these scarves to protect us from dirt that flew up from the buggy in front of us |

| The drinks were so good. I am sipping on a "Banana Mama" here. Delicious! |

As for knitting, I brought my sock on vacation with good intentions to knit by the beach and pool, but I realized I forgot the fourth double pointed needle! I was so disappointed that I could not knit for our whole vacation and also get cute pictures knitting by the beach. I knitted some more of the sock today and am close to reaching the heel. I am still working on the sweater, I need to knit more of the body of the front piece then I am onto knitting the neckline.
I did do a lot of reading on my trip and was reading more of The Nest by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney. I loved knitting by the beach with the sounds of the ocean waves in the background. I am becoming more interested in the characters in The Nest, especially Leo who seems to be the center of a lot of their family drama. but I won't give anything away! I will keep on reading, I think I should be done by next week to have a new book to share with you.
