It's over and all I can say is I wish I were back there! We had a great vacation. It started with a long drive to Hilton Head with a stopover in Frankfort, KY. The hotel was "awesome" in Griffin's words because there was a Jacuzzi in the room.
We got to my parent's house and the big reveal of Griffin's surprise was waiting for him. My sister, Barbara, flew in for a visit. Griffin was very happy to see her. She's the best Aunt ever.
Saturday morning Dallas and I were up and 'outta there for our drive down to Jacksonville to get the cruise ship. Unfortunately, there was a problem with the terminal's computer system and it took us 2 hours to check in. Luckily everyone was in a good mood so it wasn't too bad. Once we got on, we explored the ship from top to bottom and had a late lunch. We set sail to some rough waters. It was rather rocky that first night but it was smooth sailing after that (thank God!)
We spent the second day at sea doing two of my favorite things - soaking in the sun and reading a good book. The third day was docked in Nassau, Bahamas. We took a long walk around the streets of the town, did some window shopping and got a drink at Senior Frogs. It was a beautiful day. Day four was at Half Moon Cay. Can you say glorious? It was so pretty there. We took another long walk and explored the area. It was so pretty and at times we felt like we were the only two people on the entire island. Day 5 was at sea where we did more sunning and reading. There were 2 comedians on the ship which provided nightly entertainment. They were pretty good and we enjoyed catching the show each night. We also spent some time watching others perform karaoke. This was hilarious. The audience really got into the singing and dancing right along with the "performer." I don't think I need to tell you that we did NOT participate in any of the singing!
We got back to Hilton Head on Thursday afternoon and got to spend the next couple of days with my parents and my wonderful Aunt who was visiting from California.
It was so good to be on vacation.
