Bahama Mama!

Sadly, all good things must come to an end, but we really had a TOTAL BLAST and made some great memories! Because we were in water practically the whole time we were there, we really didn't take a ton of pictures. (We took some videos and maybe I'll try to post those next time. I'll atleast try to put the video of Vaughn going down the main slide you see on the Atlantis commercials where you slide through the pool of sharks.) Anyway, here are a few pictures of what we did get. We just played all day and enjoyed the sun, sand, water, slides, pools, lazy river (the water park is amazing!) aquariums, shopping, nightly strolls, and each other. It really was paradise on Paradise Island! We are considering just moving there! JetBlue does have 2 flights a day you know and the commute is only 2 and 1/2 hours! Hummmmm.........!





The view from our balcony! Gorgeous!

One of the great pools on the property. There were dozens of pools, all with different "themes".

The day we went into town, we stopped to eat some traditional Caribbean food at Cafe Skans.

Vaughn eats Conch Chowder!

Thanks for the trip, Vaughn! You are the BEST!

Bahamas! (Really?!)

Vaughn is taking me to the Bahamas for our 15th Anniversary next week! Here is a pic of the hotel we will be staying in. He was trying to keep it a surprise. I was hoping to go somewhere fun like that but didn't think we would ever really do it. I squeezed the info out of him today. I don't even have a tan....(well, I do have a farmers tan, yuck!) Here's to hoping I come home with one!

What is this? A post?!

(The kids in Vegas last year)

OK, it turns out I am about as good a journal keeper as I am a blogger...start strong and then move to fizzle mode. It has been hectic around here, but that is everyones experience, so I can't use that as my excuse everytime, can I? (But, I will!) We even got a new video camera after leaving ours somewhere in San Diego over Spring Break and have already put plenty of stuff into its memory. For example, since then, we have had two dance recitals one choir concert, another vacation to Fort Lauderdale, and Kaleb's 14TH birthday. (HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY DEAR KALEB. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!) Not to mention all the cute things the kids do everyday that as a mother I find adorable and worth recording. (Like when Shaun was cryng because his friend Maxx went home, he said, "I have to wipe the cries out of my eyes" when he wanted to get down from my lap to go and see if Maxx could come play again.) Oh, and I can't forget to also mention all the great stuff Vaughn has been doing lately, like building an awesome pergola over our back patio and painting some new unfinished chairs I ordered for our dining table. Oh yea, I also ran my first 5k race with Vaughn and Kaleb. The other day, I even ran 4.5 miles! Lots of things I could post thoughts and pictures and videos about. So what's the deal? I don't know! First, I have to get the pics from the camera to the computer. (Maybe when we slow down on the projects!) It would be so much easier if I could project the things I want recorded to this blog instantly with my mind. Somebody start working on that invention! Anyway, without the pics to prove it, we are still alive and kicking! Thought I'd atleast peek my head out of my own self-absorbed hole!
