I don’t know about you, but winter weather causes me to dream of
warmer temps and beachy destinations! In November, I took my
very first Mother/Daughter trip with my daughter, Rosemary. For
those of you who may not know, I LOVE to cruise! For Rosemary’s
birthday earlier this year, I gifted her with a cruise to the Bahamas.
We had the BEST time! We cruised out of Jacksonville to Nassau and
Princess Cays. We snorkeled and saw the biggest starfish I’ve ever
seen, along with many colorful fish. One of our sea days on the ship,
Rosemary and I got to go behind the scenes of the cruise ship and
toured the Galley, Laundry, Command Center, Behind the stage,
and up to the Bridge (we even met the captain!). That was the most
interesting tour I’ve ever been on! That was my last vacation of the
year, and now we move into my MOST FAVORITE holiday,
Christmas! I love the entire season! The lights, the music, the
decorations, everything that makes up the spirit of Christmas!
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Much love to each of you!
