the carribean!

Have you ever cruised before? I hadnt and boy was I missing out! In my opinion, its the ultimate way to travel! The sound of steel drums, wind blowing through the palm trees,ocean waves crashing against the rocks,the sweet aromas from a bbq,the pristine landscapes of an island paradise, and never having to pack and unpack a million times? I loved the Bahamas! The greatest part of this trip was to spend a week with my wonderful sisters and mom (who everyone thought was a sister!) in total paradise.

When we boarded the ship we were told "these will be the best 4 days of your life" Man,he was not lying.

I am so happy that we did this. It was no small feat to coordinate our schedules and make this happen. We went for my moms 63rd birthday, and it was such a fun celebration and it was super fun to spoil her, just like a mom should be!

I just love you so much Mom, Kim and Andrea, thanks for such a fab girls trip!!
These arent even a third of the photos, but in no particular order, and complete photo overload (if there is such a thing)..here you go :)

I love this picture of my mom! Shes so gorgeous.

the requires a little explanation. I look like a TOTAL dork, but my mom and sister are killing it. We performed in the farewell show for a full theater the last night. It was a hop hop routine and we had to strike a "gangsta pose" I think I am way to white and I have ZERO rythem to properly pull of the dance, but heh, you only live once.
