Ahead of one of her most bittersweet weeks on Live! With Kelly and Ryan, Kelly Ripa is enjoying some fun in the sun.

For the Easter weekend, the morning show host couldn't wait until New York got its weather act together, and jetted off to a much warmer locale along with her husband – and soon to be co-hostMark Consuelos.

As the weekend came to a close, she shared a glimpse of her time away, and showed off not only her impressive, sunkissed glow, but her bunny ears too of course.

Kelly took to Instagram Sunday to wish her millions of followers a very happy Easter weekend from her and Mark, sharing a selfie of the two together.

For the photo, the two are dressed casually, Kelly in little to no make-up, both simply accessorizing with black Ray Ban sunglasses, and they each have bunny ears on their head.

"Happy Easter from two wascally wabbits," she wrote in her caption, and her good friend David Muirwho also shared quite the Easter-themed selfie – wrote back: "No truer words," as others added: "Happy Easter beautiful couple," and: "Cutie pies!!" as well as: "Happy Easter to you and your family."

Kelly and Mark were off at a tropical island with some friends, including co-founder and co-CEO of obé Fitness Mark Mullett, and while vacation is certainly well-deserved for the All My Children alum, she later shared it wasn't all rest.
