I, Zeb the Duck and Soapy Duck are in Aruba with our moms for a week.  This is so exciting for us.   Zeb and Soapy have not visited a Caribbean island together before.  This is a Mother, Daughter, Duck week.  So much fun!

These parrots greeted us as we arrived at our condo.

They are friendly, loud and colorful.  This tree is growing through a fence by one of our gates.

Perfect tree for ColoradoTraveling Ducks

Maybe just for us??  These people are going on a tour in Arikok National Park.

Today we will eat on the beach at Gilligan’s.

Gilligan’s restaurant on the beach

Our moms told us about the old TV show Gilligan’s Island and his boat, the Minnow.

The Minnow

The food here is good and we love the water so close.

After eating we walked along the beach and then back to the street.

Gianni’s restaurant

We stopped at the mall and had beverages at this lounge.

The lights and entertainment were real nice.

So festive here

Seems so warm and tropical.

It was a long traveling day, but tomorrow we will experience more of Aruba.   We might go the beach tomorrow.  Moms say the white sand is great.
