VACATION!

As many of you know we just got back from a wonderful trip! Sadly we are back home and in the regular routine of life. We had so much fun! We started out with a fierce day of traveling and ended up in Florida! YAY! Cannon did SO good on his first airplane ride. He was such a trooper! Saturday we spent the whole day at Sea World, which is one very cool place! Sunday we headed to POrt Canaveral to board the Carnival Sensation ship for a four day cruise to the Bahama's. There we went swimming with the stingrays, and spent a day on the most beautiful beach I have ever seen. Of course we ate way too much and loved every second of it. Thursday and Friday we spent at Disney World (Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and Epcot), it was very fun. I have to say Animal Kingdom was probably my favorite one of the four. Disney is amazing and you could spend weeks doing everything. Saturday it was time to come back home, and again Cannon was a superb traveler. He may be like his mom and love the whole traveling thing. We can only hope, that way it will be two against one when we are trying to convince Brandon it is time for a vacation! Here are some of our picture's, I will post more soon!



Cannon's first airplane ride!



The "one and only" Shamu! Yeah right!


Cannon was not a fan of the formal dining on the cruise, as you can tell from his big mess which just got bigger each night!

Playing on the beach in Freeport (Bahama's) with grandma! (Not the even the beautiful beach I mentioned, but isn't it gorgeous!?!)

Nice arms I know! My cute baby makes up for my fatty arms though!

What an awesome experience! Sound like you had a fabulous time and I hope you get to go again soon!

Aaron said...

I hate you. Everyone else says "good for you!".....not me, I will just sit and brood over my not being able to go.


Just kidding. It looked like fun. Treasure these times, they won't always happen.

I am so sad we missed you guys. What are the chances you were here when we were there! Bummer, when Jonathan told me I was so bummed. Glad you had a good time though, and your super lucky you have a good traveler (cross country is not Addis thing!)

Wowee! The Bahamas?!?! What a lucky butt you are! The water looks amazing there! I bet it was a blast! Sorry that you have to come home and get back into regular life - that's always the worst part of a vacation - coming back! What a great experience though - it looks awesome!
