. I unfortunately don't love the look of this one, but the reviews everywhere show the KIDS love this one the most. It has the most bells and whistles and can entertain more than 1 kid at the same time (so Lila and Noah can both play at the same time). It is $140 on Amazon
for $13.19. These are hard to find in the stores and this is a great deal. Lila LOVES them and I love them because they are not messy and go for on the go!
has Barbie Superstar Doll for $3. Shipping is free with Amazon Prime or if you spend $25 or more.
has a Step 2 Water Wheel Activity Table for $28.61 (was $42.99) with free shipping. This is a pretty good deal if you are starting to look for outside toys for the Spring/Summer.
has 3 Styles of their Women's Bearpaws Boots on Sale for $29.90 per pair with free shipping. I purchased these at the beginning of the winter and they have saved me this winter. So warm and comfy. The sale is today only!
The kids spent their time in the pool. There were 3 indoor pools. We spent most of our time in the baby/kids pool. Noah and Lila had the best time! There were game rooms as well. In the nice weather there are tons more activities such as animals, ponds, playground, crafts and sports.
The meals were buffet style and incredibly kid friendly. Not the best "quality" food.....but they did the trick for me since they had a salad bar for dinner, omelet bar for breakfast and all the amazing baked goods for all meals. With 2 little ones I barely have time to eat when we are out anyway!
My one complaint about the place was the lack of ability to get from area to area with a stroller, but I think that has to do with the renovation.
Also, don't forget to check out the gift shop. Very cute. And check out the grocery store across from the complex to load up on amazing local food stuff for great prices. Overall, it was a great time and I think Noah will be talking about it for weeks!

We also had one casual dinner at Pure Beach, which was amazing atmosphere right on the beach. The food was decent...we compared it to what we would get at the Cheescake Factory. Our other dinner was at Gaspirito's . This place is authentic Arubian food. The owner came out and explained to us all the options and allowed us to create a combination plate to try different items. Nothing was excellent, but it was interesting to try the real cuisine. It was the one time on the trip I really felt like I was in another world which is always fun.
I definitely recommend a getaway to Aruba for either a short 3 night trip OR a week trip with a family. The beach is the most beautiful beach I have ever been to...the color of the water is just mesmerizing and the sand is just soft. There are no waves so it is just great for little kids. There are playground all over the beaches. Hopefully our next trip there we will be able to take Noah & Lila.
for $13. I pay like $4 per pack in the grocery store, so this is a great deal. They have other flavors too, but grape is my fav!
Next, this past weekend we celebrated Lila's baby naming. We did a simple service with immediate family. Here is a family picture:
The stay also includes a delicious breakfast in the morning. Everything is made from scratch an is so yummy and presented beautiful. Totally adds to the foodie trip experience. Here is a picture of our breakfast:
So here is my review on The Inn at Little Washington. It is a total experience. The restaurant is very charming and just feels very special. The service is out of this world. The meal starts off with these tasters and also some delicious bread.
It then proceeding with a first course. I had the Melange of Spicy Big Eye Tuna with Mango, Avacoado, Crispy Shallots and Sake-Yuzu Sorbet. It might have been my favorite dish of the night!
Next was the second course. I ordered again off the first course portion and had the Chilled Maine Lobster in Sherry Vinagrette with Avacado, Grapefruit, and Crispy Lotus Root. Very good. My sister in law had the Macaroni and Cheese with Virginia country Ham and Shaved Black Truffle which was heavan!
They then brought out these mini soups and a cheese brioche which was AMAZING!!!!
For the main meal I ordered the Pepper Crusted Tuna Pretending to be a Filet Mignon . When I tasted it I did not LOVE it, so I decided to exchange it for the Pan Roasted Maine Lobster with Braised Baby Bok Choy in a Fragrant Coconut Sauce Perfumed with Lemongrass. Not only did they do this happily, but they also sent me out a free glass of wine. My new dish was spectacular. I highly recommend ordering it!
I ended my meal with the seven deadly sin sampler which is a sampling of a bunch of desserts and let me say they are not sample size...HUGE. However, if I went again I would recomend getting the dessert my mother in law ordered with was this insane Ice Cream Sandwich with Hot Caramel Sauce. They prepared it with a happy birthday fondant...as well as our menu had a birthday wish for her as well!
At the end of the meal they give you the most darling souvenior. It is a mini size Inn at Little Washington container filled with yummy cookies and candies to take with you.
After dinner we went and toured their kitchen which was just gorgeous. We rolled home after a 3 hour dinner. The cost of dinner is $150 a person for the set menu. It is very pricey, but it is a once in a lifetime type experience for a foodie!
My last piece of advice is to make sure you hit the Inn's Gift Shop in the morning and load up on their delicious cookies and breads.
