During this last deployment, we spent a lot of time planning the perfect trip. It turns out the perfect trip, is a 7 day cruise on the Royal Caribbean ship Freedom of the Seas, visiting select beautiful Caribbean Islands. We swam with tropical fish (and a shark!), we jet skied in turquoise water, we laid on the beach and watched airplanes fly so close we could almost touch them, we danced to 80's ballads played by an incredible Filipino cover band, and fell asleep to the music of the waves coming from our private balcony. It came and went like a dream. I need to look at the pictures to believe it really happened. I missed my babies like crazy, and am happy to be home and snuggle them, but we had an amazing time. Maybe some day we'll take the kids with us on a similar trip. When they're much older, perhaps in 12 years or so. Maybe.

So my question is... who watched the kids?! :) Glad you had a nice time!
ReplyDeleteMy mom, her best friend, and Katie (+ little Ryan) all flew out to stay with our crazy crew! They were amazing, even cleaned up throw-up. I come from such a generous, loving family!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great photos, Lizzy. I was eager to see what you were doing while I was cleaning up barf. Oh, and enjoying many wonderful snuggles. I miss the little sweethearts already.
ReplyDeleteAw, I loved the slideshow! :)Looks like you both had a wonderful time. All the pictures were BEAUTIFUL!
