5 Year Anniversary Trip

When we got to the Ocean Club we had a bouquet of flowers and a note from the resort manager congratulating us on our anniversary.

Here is Lizzy drinking champagne before getting ready to go to dinner. Every night they bring champagne and chocolate covered strawberries by the room around 6:30

This is us taking a walk on the beach before breakfast. The beach and water was beautiful.

This shows the bar and breakfast area. It's neat because the resort is up on a hill along the beach. The actual facilities are remarkably quaint and small, but very classy. We'd eat breakfast along the fence up there and look at the ocean and beach. We also had fun spotting boobs on the beach, thanks to the Europeans.



This is the Versailles pool. It's tough to tell, but beyond the pool is about 200 yards of gardens and statues and ends with a Greek-styled ruin overlooking the bay.


Here I am reading in the main house / lobby. Everyday around 1 we would come in and have some of the free champagne and read and play games, usually chess.



The first part of the last James Bond movie, Casino Royal, was filmed at the ocean club, exactly where I was reading in the previous picture. At the other end of the room is a bar. The bartender I'm in the picture with was the same one in the movie serving James Bond his drink.



Here we are eating at Dune. I had sirloin that had shitake mushrooms and an Asian / ginger glaze and Lizzy had lobster tail in some type of cream sauce. We ate there again and had the same thing two nights later.

On the last night we ate in the courtyard restaurant. It's very romantic. Behind me to the left of my ear you can see the signer. He sings all night from up there. It was funny because whenever anyone would clap after a song, he sounded just like Eddie Murphy saying "Oh my gosh, thank you! Thank you so much..".

We plan on going back for our 10 year anniversary.
