Our scape to Pico del Loro

For Daniel's birthday we went to Pico del Loro's Resort. It was a very short stay of one night but well worth it. We got up the next morning and walked to the beach. I gave him a  note with several coupons for facials, massages, pedicures and manicures. I also made him a scrapbook of 61 things and sayings from him. This is exactly what I posted on Facebook. 

Happy birthday mi amore!
