We left to go to Florida on Feb. 1 with our kids and there we met up with my mom and Jamie's brother (Tyler), wife (Michelle), and friends John and Pam. From Florida on Feb. 3 we left on a cruise to the Bahamas and Caribean. And it was a wonderful 7 day cruise that stopped in Nassau, St. Thomas and St. Martin and then returned to Florida where we stayed in our time share for an extra 4 days to relax before coming home to this lovely cold weather.(NOT) We got home late last night and the kids were ready to go to school today. I have spent the day unpacking which is just as much work as packing and wishing every min. that we had not come home but real life has to happen.
We saw some amazing places while away and did some really cool things. The first place we stopped in was Nassau where we caught a water taxi to Paradise Island and we went past the famous Atlantis Hotel and found an amazing beach where we could snorkle and swim. Our second stop was in St. Thomas where we went on a tour and were taken to a coral reef and everyone went out snorkling even the kids. It was so cool to see everyone out there and they got to see some really neat things. Then on our final stop we went to St. Martin where we rented a car and drove to this famous beach right by the airport where you can be swimming in the water and the planes fly right over your head and the runway is just on the other side of the fence and when the planes take off you have to hold onto everything including your kids because they will get blown right into the water. That was the coolest and the kids had a great time waving at the people as they were coming in to land. Then we headed to another beach where all the adults went up parasailing. It was amazing to watch them (I did not go) They saw huge see turtles and mantarays. I was so shocked when my mom said that she wanted to go. She had a great time. Between each port and the days that we were on the boat the boys where able to go to camp carnival which was amazing and the kids had a great time and the adults enjoyed some alone time. All in all it was great and there was plenty of shopping to do. I will include some pictures.
I have enjoyed catching up on everyone ones blog since I have been home.
