toes in the sand

As much as we love the boy and as much as we love to be around the boy....mommas and daddys need a little vacation alone. We started planning right after Christmas. We were going to take an 'after tax season vacation' but then decided that we love the sand and water, so we'd wait until the summer to go to the beach. We checked with both grandparents and of course, they weren't busy (whenever we decided to go)!

Derek is the best at planning vacations, because it's all got to be perfect! (And I'm so thankful he is that way!) He researched and researched the best places to go with little amounts of travel time, a place to just relax and not feel like we have to go and go, etc. So, Bahamas here we come! We could get there easy and it's beautiful. We've never done the all-inclusive resort before, so we thought we'd give it a try. The Sandals there is great. The people are super nice and it's a wonderful place to just relax...which is exactly what we did.
Derek's drink of choice most of the time...

Where I spent 2 hours napping one day!

beautiful...

I preferred the fruity adult frosty beverages...

Derek got new sunglasses....he reminded me many times how 'super fly' he was!


I think I could live there and be the 'official' Bahamian photographer! :)


Overall, it was a wonderful, relaxing trip...but, we were ready to get back to Michael!! He had a wonderful time and Juice & Pa's and then Grandma & Granddaddy's. I do believe he was never told no the entire time we were gone. Thank you for keeping him for us!
Oh, I could get used to this...
