VACATION...

Vacation...oh it was fabulous. Lawrence and I went to Curacao in the Netherland Antilles for a whole week. We left at 6am on August 9 and came back at 10pm on August 16. We had a fabulous time. And the munchkin got to go on his own vacation to Grandma and Grandpa Miskel's house in Hermann, MO and had a blast!

Back to Curacao. It was beautiful. HOT, but beautiful. We stayed at a Lodge on the Northern tip of the island. The lodge was peaceful and relaxing. We had an amazing suite. The lodge had all these separate little houses with two rooms on the 1st floor and one large one on the second floor. We were on the second floor. We had a bedroom with french doors that opened to this huge porch/balcony. There was a mini kitchen off the balcony where we cooked most of our dinners. The evenings were gorgeous because it cooled off and we had a view of the mountains. We spent time sightseeing in the city (Willmestead), laying on the gorgeous white sand beaches, snorkeling in the bright blue water. And having a couple tropical drinks! It was a relaxing and fun week and was good for us as a couple to have some time away from the kiddo. And he actually stayed out in Hermann for 4 days after our return, which gave us some time to readjust to the real world without a kid. Overall it was a great vacation. I will say towards the end I started to miss the little man. It was so quiet with just the two of us laying around in the evenings watching the Olympics and planning our next day. I had gotten used to having this loud, adorable, obnoxious, funny nine year old mouthing off to me about something. =)

Now it's back to the real world.
