Eastern Caribbean Cruise

Here's a photo of JT checking out the scenery from Paradise Point on St. Thomas, Virgin Islands.

We decided to go on a cruise just before Christmas this year. We haven't taken a vacation all year and just needed to get away and have some quality family time together. This was also a year that we decided that we were just not going to stress over everything that comes with celebrating Christmas... because after all, celebrating Christmas really isn't about buying presents for everyone and decorating inside and outside.

I like this photo I took - it looks like a postcard.

We had a very relaxing week and alot of good quality time together. Of course, being together 24/7 for 9 days did take it's toll on us a couple of times and there were occasions when one or two of us would get a bit cranky, but all in all we had a good time.

Here's a video of JT dancing on stage during one of the shows on the ship. That's him just to the right of the woman dancer.... at last for awhile, then he gets hidden behind her. We were surprised that he actually did the dance, and for a few moments, seemed to even have some rhythm! He had a blast and that's what was important!
