It was bittersweet coming home from vacation. Sad that summer is almost over and that the vacation we looked forward to for so long was over, but happy to come back home to Kenley. We had an amazing vacation! We spent the first two nights in Miami and stayed at Fountaine Bleu hotel which was awesome. It had more pools than any hotel I have ever been to. We got so lucky with the weather our entire trip. It rained a little bit a few days, but it was always later in the afternoon so it never affected our plans. In Miami we enjoyed being right on the beach, and swimming in the pools late at night. We also spent some time on Lincoln Ave. which was a big strip of shops, bars, and resturaunts. It was a great start to the vacation before the cruise. Our ship, Majesty of the Seas, was really nice. It was very similar to the ship we had been on before, but maybe a bit smaller. The first day we went to Nassau and went to the Atlantis resort. We spent most of the day in the pools, going on the waterslides, and in the awesome lazy river. We also checked out the aqarium which was pretty cool. The second day we were at Coco Caye and we enjoyed the beach. Melissa and I rented floating beach mats and could have layed on them all day long. We didn't realize how far out the waves were taking us a few times! Then, the last day we were in Key West. We shopped around and then did a jet ski tour. It was probably the highlight of our trip. We rode 30 miles around the entire island. The guys finally gave in and let me and Melissa drive, of course, just as a brief storm came in, so we were driving in these crazy waves out in the middle of the ocean. Every night on the cruise ship was a lot of fun. We had really nice dinners, went to the casino, and participated in a lot of the events. The last night we all did karaoke and played the adult game show, which ended up being hilarious.
Of course every day we talked about the babies and what they were doing, and we called home almost every day to check on her. It sounded like Kenley had as much fun as we did spending time with both sides of the family. When we first got back, it took her a few minutes to warm up to me, but by the next day she was fine again. These are my last few days before I go back to work, so I have been taking full advantage of every minute. Today I took Kenley to the farmer's market, and to the park. It was such a nice day out. I'm hoping it is just as nice this weekend so that we can spend some more time outside. Hopefully the next few days go by slowly because I think I am in denial about starting school on Monday!
