To celebrate the doctorate and our anniversary, we went on a cruise to
The Bahamas!
It was great fun and very relaxing.
 |
| The first day was unseasonably cold. The high was only 44 degrees. Even with the clouds, the terrain was beautiful. |
 |
| This day was much warmer--60's. It was a very pleasant boat ride around Nassau. |
 |
| Waiting on the pier for a boat to take us para-sailing. |
 |
| Soaring high! It was very peaceful up there. We could see all the way to the edge of the earth. ;-) The water was clear as glass, and it was amazing to be able to see so far down while sailing so far up! |

| The sun setting on Nassau. |
The last day was spent snorkeling and sliding down a 40 foot water slide and getting sunburned. We are anxious to get the pictures back that were taken with the waterproof disposable camera.
 |
| The kids showing off their nifty gifties. |
 |
| My mom kindly agreed to fly out to stay with the children. |
 |
| And she brought my little brother and his wife, too. Good times! |
What we learned:
- Cruises are indeed fun!
- The food is indeed abundant and fattening.
- So, Tums and Gas-X or Beano should be consumed regularly.
- Anti-motion-sickness medicine should be taken before embarking.

I am so jealous we have always wanted to go on a cruise. Having said that if anyone deserves it you guys do, I'm glad you went sans kids you probably needed that time together. Hopefully someday we can all go on a cruise together that would be almost too much to wish for but oh so fun. Enjoy your new life, I'm getting accustomed to mine and we're doing all right. Miss you guys!
How fun! Congrats to Derrell for that huge accomplishment. I cannot believe how different Matthew looks. He will always be little to me. Tell your mom she looks fantastic.
