The wonder.
Excitement fills the air and consumes all of our emotion.
Family Vacation!
There is simply something special about it.
The Holland Family Cruise to the Caribbean
February 22nd left for Texas to meet up with loved ones- 23rd Boarded ship in Galveston-spent 2 days at sea-stopped in Montego Bay, Jamaica-Grand Cayman-Cozumel-another day at sea
The culture. Breathtaking scenery. The simplicity. The elegance. The hospitality. White sand between your toes. Soaking up the golden sun. Secluded islands. Relaxing under a coconut tree while sipping on a tropical punch. The giggles. The smiles. Echoes of splashing and laughter. Fresh breeze blowing through your hair. The pool. The slide. The towel creation surprises. The luxury. The views from the balcony. Waves crashing. Sun setting. Picture taking. Memories creating.
Unforgettable!!
But...
There is also something special about coming home.
Arriving at our sweet familiar place, surrounded by the ones I hold most dear, I am filled with relief, comfort, peace, joy, & *gratitude*! There truly is nothing like coming home!
*Gratitude for many blessings in my life! Including such wonderful in-laws who are enjoyable, pleasant, & caring. We LOVE making memories with you!
*Gratitude for a blessed life with amazing loved ones and for our choice to find and experience
JOY in our JOurneY together!
Jeremy, Chris, Cam, & Kyle...I LOVE you...forever!
