A little time in Paradise

So, we sneak away about every five years

with our dear friends from

Case Western Reserve Dental School

for a reunion of sorts.

It was reunion #10.

It was even more fun than five.

THANKS Angie Harris,

your an awesome cruise planner.

I think sneaking away for 15

will be a challenge with six teens.

Who will watch six teens????

No one.

Anyway,

We hopped a plane to Fort Lauderdale.

Then, a cruise ship

called Oasis of the Seas.

The largest ship in the world.

This massive ship that holds 9,000 passengers,

 took us for a fun filled eight day ride

to...

Labadee Haiti

Jamaica

 and Cozumel.

Our friends from Dental school are pretty much

like family.

We stayed up late playing cards and laughing.

We hit the karaoke bar nightly. People are crazy talented.

We went for lunch and shopping.

We dressed up for nightly shows and four course

dinners. There was a time we considered not going. 

But, I'm glad we made time for our friends and each other.

I missed breakfast everyday.

Why? Because I indulged in sleeping this trip.

I feel so good! 

 If you haven't been on a cruise I recommend it!

Ben, on the other hand, was up early to the gym

and at the breakfast buffet before 8:00.

Buffet, I think is one of his favorite activities.

You can't tell on his lean 6'4 frame.

Lucky Man.

 My Children were so jealous that I swam with dolphins.

Two of my girls wouldn't speak to me for an hour.

It was the most awesome experience.

I could have stayed with the dolphins all day.

Thanks for the fun memories.

I'm having cruise hangover.

I think I'll make myself a pina colada.

Happy Memorial Weekend

from Kansas. Be safe.
