Bula! Our Fiji Vacation | Photo Heavy

Well we are back after a week away in not so sunny Fiji, we are back home with our sweet peanut and we couldn't be happier. The time away was hard not being with her but we managed and we really did have a fabulous time despite the weather. C did great with my mom and only got upset at night, needing to check the whole house for mommy and daddy, but all and all she did wonderful and loved all the time she got to spend with her nanny. We both missed her terribly but face timed her daily to say good morning and good night. Next vacation is a family trip though for sure, it was so fun and a much needed mommy and daddy break, but we both kept saying to one another "C would love this" "awe the peanut would love to do this" so next tropical vacation she's coming. Little does she know we are taking her to the most magical place on earth in a few months, and thats going to be a BLAST! 

Now onto the trip, we spent the first few days on a little island called tokoriki. It was so beautiful and so remote that was probably the best part being on such a tiny island. We took helicopter to get there which was very cool, and so fun to see all the little islands on our way there. We were on vacation with our awesome friends Blake and Emily so it was so nice traveling with another couple and we will all be doing way more vacations together in the future. We snorkeled here and Steve got to go on two dives, I also may of indulged in quite a few flat whites, the coffee on the island was pretty spectacular. 


Tokoriki Island 


Our Villa, Blake and Emily had the other side which made this spot even better. 

The resort, it was so tiny and peaceful the people were so sweet and made such a point to get to know us. 

Beautiful Tokoriki
Even though we didn't get much sun it was such a lovely island and we will totally go back in the future. From there are headed back to the main island and stayed in the Denarau area. The resort was beautiful but not as intimate as the first. We had a great two bedroom villa here as well with a private pool which was great it was like we had our own little house just the four of us. The weather a little better here but still not super sunny every day, we made the most of it though. This island isn't as picturesque as the smaller islands, so when we go back in the future we will for sure island hop. 
Nothing quite like a vacation with the bestie, love you em! 


The green lobster was amazing! It was almost 7lbs, I'll eat a 7lb lobster any day! This was our awesome chef who cooked for us in our villa one night. 

The hubs and I, all an all it was a fabulous trip and I am so happy we decided to go. I loved all the uninterrupted time I go to spend with my husband it was really good for both of us. 

And of course it was the BEST feeling in the world coming home to our sweet peanut, who promptly asked to go to "minnies house and go rides" so naturally after a week on vacation Steve and I took her to disney for a few hours. Love this girl so much! 
XOXO
