Our Family

We just got fall family photos taken by my friend, Tracy Seconi. I'm so excited about them, because we went somewhere and had them done on location for the first time. I'm sending one out in Christmas cards that's different than these, but these are a few of my favorites.

This Summer in South Dakota

We had a great trip out west this summer. The kids and I drove out to Utah, and spent 3 weeks all over the state. On our way home, we went to The Crazy Horse Monument, Mount Rushmore, and the Badlands while we were in South Dakota. It was awesome.

Please don't die of shock, but I'm actually updating this thing! I have to be the worst ever at this, and I'm sorry. I am gonna try and add some pics later, the last two times I've tried, I had errors and just haven't gotten back to it. Anyway, I just want to say our Thanksgiving was wonderful, and now we're getting ready for the holidays! I hope all my blogger friends are happy, healthy and staying warm!

Welcome to Nassau!

We sailed all night to get to Nassau, and spent all day saturday there. Here, we walked into town to see the shops, and a small part of the city. We sailed right past the Atlantis resort, it is awesome! On deck, one of the chefs carved this ice sculpture in about 20 minutes, it was awesome to watch! We went scuba diving on this day too, but I don't have any pics of that yet because I just took a little waterproof camera. It was a great experience for Bill and I to do that. We sailed out for about 45 minutes from the pier and the water in the ocean was as clear as ever the whole way out. When we got to the diving spot, it was only 12 feet or so deep. That night, we went to a formal dinner all dressed up and it was so much fun! We had such a great day seeing and experiencing new things! What a beautiful place!

AAHHH, Freeport!

This day was kinda funny because we got to Freeport a little late, and alot of the excursions were cancelled. So, we planned to go scuba diving, and ended up switching to our dolphin encounter. So, I didn't do my hair or put on make up because I planned to be under water! Oh well, it was awesome. It was such a great experience to be so up close and personal with the dolphins. They gave each of us a kiss at the end, and it was a very informative time! Freeport was small, but really has blue/green water and white sand. We watched this gorgeous sunset from the deck of the ship while we ate a snack after getting back from our dolphin experience! Gorgeous!

Sailing Away!

Wow, we couldn't believe it, the time had finally come to take our cruise! We had such a great time and the only thing we decided was 4 days is not long enough! It was a little windy when we sailed out of Jacksonville, but we knew we'd be in Freeport the next day and all is well! ha ha
