He Came...He Saw...He Conquered Cuba!!

Well, Cuba was completely amazing. The weather was spectacular (the temperature never dropped below a balmy 30 degrees), the resort had stunning grounds brimming with palm trees and hibiscus plants, the sky was every shade of blue and the entire area was surrounded by hills.

Our room at the resort was a quaint little bungalow that was comfortable rather than luxurious but one that had the best view in town - the beach. Luxury would have been wasted on us anyway as we tipped the room upside down and filled it with sand and toys in a matter of minutes! For one whole week we did nothing but relax, swim and play. The Cuban people were friendly and kind.

But the real star of the show was Wonderbaby. He managed to wow everyone! He wowed the people travelling on the plane and bus as he never made so much as a peep, he wowed the resort staff and guests who fell completely in love with his cheeky smile and chubby cheeks while the Cuban locals were just plain wowed at how gorgeous he was. He even drew a smile from the ultra serious Cuban customs department by giggling at a very inappropriate moment.

Everyone was in awe! Along the way he earned himself some surrogate grandparents as many of the guests were sun-seeking retirees. The lovely gentleman in the photo below said he had a granddaughter due in July and if she was even half as wonderful as Reed he would be an extremely happy man. It was very very sweet.

Our lovely little Wonderbaby now has a rosy glow to his cheeks (so too does his very tanned Daddy!) and he has fallen in love with the great outdoors. Having spent his entire seven months inside it was very nice to show him that sun and fun really do exist. After all, his mummy is a self-confessed beach bum! The smiles and squeals that came from Reed as he stood in the ocean were truly priceless.

So thank you Cuba - we will treasure these wonderful memories forever.
