Top 10 favorite things about our vacation...
1. The beach on the island of Freeport, Bahama's
2. The sunshine, I can never get enough of this.
3. Touring Nassau Island in the Bahama's, seeing the wealthy area and the poverty area, learning the history. (We saw where Oprah has a huge home on the beach in an area that we can't even drive to and just a few miles away there are homes no bigger than my garage with no water, no bathrooms. On the side of the road, there is a government supplied faucet for about 20 homes to share.)
4. Elegant night on the ship, taking pictures with the family
5. Dinner every evening (all 10 of us), we spent almost 2 hours each evening, enjoying great food, trying new things and talking about the days events.
6. My mom, Miah, Josey, and Addison all getting their hair braided Bahama style
7. Traveling through the airports with the kids. They were amazing. They loved all of it and never complained about all the waiting around and all the walking we had to do.
8. Night out with Justin and my mom. I think I laughed for an hour straight.
9. Hanging out with Miah and Addison one night in the room, such sweet little girls.
10. Watching Justin enjoy all the unique foods. Justin loves a wide variety of foods that we never have back in Indiana, or that we can't afford to have back in Indiana. So he thoroughly enjoyed trying new things, and ordering things he hasn't had in years. The smile on his face was truly priceless.
