One of the greatest memories I have with my family is the vacation to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic that my mom and Carlo took us on. Included was Aunt Barbara (my mom's wonderful aunt/our great aunt), Antoinette, Jamie, her husband Josh, Jessica, and Kerstin. I will never forget how cool it was to swim with dolphins in crystal clear water with my sisters and mom. I know it was on my mom's bucket list. We have such wonderful pictures of that time. And also that same vacation, being on the catamarand going around the islands on the glass bottom boat, my mom dancing in her bathing suit and saraong up there with all the younger adults. She was a fun time, and I miss having her around.
