I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify Him with thanksgiving.

Ah....vacations...

Ah, the vacation life.  No place to be, no commitments, no bad news...just pure bliss and relaxation. Yes, I love vacations.  I love the traveling, the relaxing and most definitely the getting away.  

We just got back from a cruise with 4 other couples!  We went to the Caribbean and it was blissful!  If you haven't been on a cruise yet--I highly recommend it!  It's super cheap for all that you get!  The food!!  And there's so much to do..or if you prefer to just sit in a chair on the deck and read a book --you can!! That's the best part!  I love going with our friend every year.  The best part about going with a bunch of people is that's there's always someone to hang out with!  

We played lots of dominoes, danced, ate, snorkeled, swam, hooped and laughed. 

If you haven't tried a cruise! Do it!  It's amazing!
