This trip away came at the most perfect time.
Home was slightly stressful.
It was a busy; are we making the right decision?, lots of paper gathering, people talking, and risk taking kind of stressful.
so...
we came to PA to relax and recharge.
and...
that is exactly what we did.
the only clothes we donned were our swimsuits and jammies.
the kids shoes were never put on; they haven't been in a car since we got here....
it was perfect.
Full of family, food, and fun.
I can not explain my family... mostly, because it's too good.
We are open, laugh hard, share easily, and love well!
It is truly genuine!
And guaranteed that it is not often found.
I am so truly blessed to be surrounded by such loving people.
We traveled around the world this week (all while never leaving the back yard of my parents home.)
Every day we traveled to a new tropical location.
Each place had a special food dish and adult beverage.
We started in the Turks and Caicos.
Drink of the day: Ice tea vodka's on ice
Appetizers: A variety of chips and dip
Menu: burgers and dogs
Next stop was Monte Carlo.
Drink of the day: Orange Dreamsicles
Appetizers: fruit and sweet dip, guac and chips, bacon and cheese dip, and taco dip
Menu: creamy chicken and biscuits
St. Croix was on Monday
Drink of the day: Adult Rootbeer floats
Appetizers: veggies and dip and chips and taco dip
Menu: Rigatoni and Ribs
Final stop was Tahiti
Drink of the day: Frozen Watermelon Martini's
Appetizers: Homemade fried zucchini, spinach dip, veggies and dip, and soft pretzels filled with pepper jack cheese and dip.
Menu: Pizza
The kids learned to swim (face in and under water, jumping from side of pool solo.) They played hard, and experienced, yet again, the family gathering traditions of the Caruso's.
It was the most wonderful time.
The kids do not want to leave....I do not want to leave.
But
we will leave today,
and
we will go home,
to
begin our new adventure.
Thank you Mom and Dad for giving us the opportunity to share in such a wonderful, relaxing and loving time!
I love ALL of you!
