Ahhhhhhh

Sam and I just returned from a week long Caribbean Cruise to celebrate our 10yr wedding anniversary.  To say it was relaxing is an understatement. I am so refreshed. I cannot believe how much patience I've had with the kids since I've returned (ok, so it is only day two) and I hope it stays!

Carol and Joanna (MIL and SIL) stayed with the kids and the boys had a great time with their Mammy, aunt and cousins.

We stayed the night before we left in Baltimore at the Intercontinental on the Harbor. Besides the window reflections, this is our amazing view from floor to ceiling windows on one whole wall of the room. It was VERY nice.

Only the Spirit class of boats can fit into the Baltimore Harbor and under the bridge, so we had a small boat - but still seemed big to us! We had a balcony room on the aft end of the boat. If you look at the far left, the 2nd floor door (1st floor of balconies) we were the 5th room in. It was a great location.

Our boat had been recently remodeled. Here is the main atrium.

All of our photos focused around "OH, The kids would love that!". Here we are with Funship Freddy - for the boys of course :-)

I do believe we look younger! That is what happens after two days of a full nights sleep and 3hr naps!

Grand Turks - ahhhhhhhh

Arriving at Half Moon Cay- and island rented by Carnival from the Bahamas.  We did a jet ski excursion here that was amazing. It started in the lagoon and then we broke out to open ocean. It was so fun.

We had to take a tender to the dock

Very relaxing...and HOT

Trying very hard to take a photo in Freeport, Bahamas!

I love this photo. I think it is my favorite. It looks like a toy boat in a bathtub. It is the tug that guided us out of Freeport Harbor.

Enjoying our last night.

And if your wondering why Sam has his glasses on in almost all of the photos, well he fell asleep every afternoon by the pool with his contacts on and that combined with the wind and salt made for some sore eyes every night.
