Summer Vacation

We decided to squeeze in a summer vacation right before the kids started back. We got a HOT deal on a trip to the Bahamas, Nassau to be exact. 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo right on the beach. Luckily enough, the kids got their passports about 2 weeks before. Booked the vacation Weds. around 11:30 pm., left Saturday morning at 9am. Not a lot of time to get ready, but you really only need shorts & a bathing suit, so we were set! We all had a good time, and Dean (hurricane) decided to go South, not North, so we didn't have to leave in a panic. Weather was great, water was beautiful, and we all had a nice time.

View of the island directly across from our beach!


Visiting the Pirate museum. Argh!

We had a glorious vacation. Too bad we all hadto go back to school/work...

Life is a Beach

On Friday we headed to the Dunes in Michigan, one of our very favorite places! The weather was beautiful! Hot & sunny! I stayed under the beach umbrella when not in the water, to avoid being sunburned, which I hate. Stef got totally burned on her back. I kept telling her she was going to get burned, but she 'wanted to get tan'. Well, red is definitely not tan. She's still in pain today, and it's still beat red. Poor thing. Should've stayed under my umbrella, ella, ella, ella, eh, eh... sorry, didn't mean to lapse into song. Anyway, here's some fun pictures of our glorious day!
