Great Vacation

We recently returned from our exciting cruise to the Carrabbean with 24 other adults! It was a wonderful week of fun and relaxation. I told Deiana we were resting, and reading books on the trip so I tried to keep the water slide out of the pictures! (Don't worry she knows the truth)
We had many adventures such as climbing a waterfall and swimming with the dolphins.
We also had fun dressing up each night for dinner. They have many photographers available to take your picture as many times as you wish.

We have never left Deiana for more than one night, so she really did well. Planning her schedule while we were away was as difficult as packing and planning for the cruise! Aunt Susie kept her on the weekends, and my trusted friend Debbie kept her during the week, taking her to school and gymnastics. Both ladies planned lots of activities so she stayed very busy. She came home with some gifts too, proving she was adequately spoiled! Much thanks to Susie and Debbie for graciously taking on our little ball of energy. We appreciate it so much.

Jon surprised me with a Tanzanite ring one night. He gave it to our waiter and asked him to slip it to me with dessert. Our waiter made quite an elaborate production out of it, complete with special dessert, decorated plate and napkin rose wine glass. I was completely surprised, especially because it was for no special occasion. Jon scored big with me and the ladies, but the guys said they might throw him overboard.
