Over the past week I’ve been in thinking about the cruise to the Bahamas that Lydia and I took back in January. It was soooooo much fun. My first time on the beach and to see the ocean, the fun we had swimming out to sea, taking naps while basking in the warmth of sun in the middle of winter…
We had such a wonderful time aboard the ship. To me it was an definitely an adventure. We didn’t know what to expect, and there was always something new happening. The food was fantastic and the pools were relaxing. With entertaining shows and performances, and things to do, it was nice to get away from life. Lydia enjoyed not having to worry about school and I didn't have to worry about work projects. We put most worries aside.
It was also nice to get away from parental responsibilities. The ability to not have to keep track of the kids was great. However, we missed our kids by the end of our trip. We found ourselves talking about them more and more, and wishing they could take in some of the experiences we had. We made sure to get pictures, videos, and some gifts (of course). When we arrived home, we found they had a wonderful time without us, and can’t wait until next year.
Oh… and yes… we are going again. And we are looking forward to it!!!
Anyway, dreaming about our wonderful vacation brings several thoughts to my mind. We got to visit some awesome places, and we hear and read of other lands that are more magnificent in beauty and relaxation.There is so many places we can visit.
If that’s just a small taste of paradise, what is awaiting us in heaven? Oh boy! That’s a thought.
