Vacation time!!

My kids are out of school for the summer!!  They had an awesome school year and did great!!  

I can't believe I will have a 2nd and 5th grader!!  I will also be putting my 3 year old in a church preschool where he will only go 3 hours a day.  The last time I didn't have any kids with me during the day was when my middle son started the same church preschool.  Of course at the time I was 7 months pregnant.

I'm hoping to stay busy this summer and let it past by quick!!  We are taking a major family vacation in a couple months that we are excited about!! 

 First off we will be starting our summer with a girl's weekend to Pigeon Forge.  Me and 2 girl friends will just spend the weekend shopping and taking in the sights.  Of course a couple hours at a spa doesn't hurt either!  Can't wait for my hour long massage and pedicure!

Once we get back, I will be taking the kids and driving up to Indiana to spend a week with my Dad and step-mom.  Then I'll be driving to Illinois and visiting with my Mom and Step-dad.  We will be gone about 2 weeks while Hubby stays behind and goes to work.  

Then we will take our big family vacation in October during the kids fall break.  We will be taking a 5 day cruise to the Bahamas!!  We will be going to Half Moon Cay and Nassau.  I can't wait!!!

Isn't the water gorgeous??!  Can't wait to dip my feet in the clear blue water and white sands!!

We have taken 2 carnival cruises back in 2000 and 2001 before we got married and had kids.  This will be the 1st cruise our kids will be on.  They will be 10, 8, and 3 at the time of the cruise. 

We will be going with friends of ours and their son.  I hope everybody has a blast!!
