Family Travel Life
Christmas morning has changed drastically as my children have grown older. When they were little, my husband and I would be woken up long before the sun to see what Santa had brought them.
This morning, we are celebrating Christmas in a condo on the beach in Florida. I was up watching the sunrise over the ocean this morning as my children lay sleeping in their beds.
Today, is a sea day on the ship, but yesterday we explored the amazing island of Curacao. It is part of what is called the ABC Islands off the cost of South America. This cruise hit two of the three islands, since yesterday we were in Aruba. Some day, I will need to go back and see Bonaire.

The smiles on my kids faces as they saw the shores of Aruba will be ingrained in my mind forever. Continue reading “The Cruise Continues”
I love traveling.
