There's No Place Like Home

We are back from the beautiful caribbean ocean - a 9 day vacation that was such a treasure.  We were on Great Exuma Island in the Bahamas.  Most haven't heard of it simply because there's hardly anything there. It's a very lazy little island with the most beautiful beaches we've seen.  I knew this when we booked the trip but still found myself looking for something we could go do or see. It was so hard to just relax.  By day 3, I think we had it down and parked our behinds on the beach to read, sleep, apply sunscreen and repeat.   It was a wonderful gift of refreshment that was much needed for Chris and I.  I'd encourage all you parents to get some time away alone.  Even if it's just somewhere local for a couple of days, it's so good to do and really will re-energize you.

The Wind Was Crazy The First Few Days We Were There

I have to say, I missed the kids terribly and made Chris vow to never let me spend so much time away from them.  They barely recognized us when we got home. Cohen, Noah and Sophia all looked at us like - who are you again?  Finn ran around the house squealing with excitement so I'm guessing he remembered us or was just happy to have more people to socialize with (he is his daddy through and through).  

What's Better Than A Beach Vacation?
