The Mill swimming pool area

We stayed at The Mill Resort and Suites while in Aruba. These are some shots of the swimming pool area. Guests of the hotel would stake their claim to a lounge chair very early in the morning by leaving their towels on the lounge chairs. November is Aruba's slow time of year, so even though it seemed crowded to us sometimes on the beach and around the pool, I guess it could have been a lot worse.

Cactus/cacti around Aruba

Aruba is covered with Cacti. As you have seen from some of the other photos of the California Lighthouse, etc. We drove through a rural area of Aruba on the way to the Natural Pool and there was a fence along the road made from the Cacti. I will post that photo later.

More flowers

Such gorgeous bright flowers in Aruba. These are just a few of the different flowers we saw.

More bright colors of Aruba

WOW! I just love the bright colors of Aruba. The houses and buildings are just gorgeous. Loved taking photos of all the bright houses. Aruba's car tags say, "One Happy Island" on them. No wonder with all the bright colors to cheer you up!

Jules on the beaches

A few photos of Julia on the beach in Aruba. She didn't like getting the sand in her swimsuit! The water was gorgeous and I loved walking along the beaches barefoot in the sand and water, it felt great.

Iguana photos

Iguana's are all over the place in Aruba. On the beaches and even at the pool at the hotel we stayed at. They come up very close to you too! I was a little freaked out at first, but got used to them being around.
