Palm trees and blue skies. Some people get to see it everyday but I don’t. I would like for it to be my daily view one day.

Our first leg of Summer vacation began in Orlando. We rewarded Angelique with a trip to Universal Studios (Harry Potter World) because she put some major work in over the Summer academically. She deserved a great trip. The second leg was Miami. Yeah, that’s mama’s reward. We took our first cruise on the Norwegian Sky.

It was freestyle cruising, which means there was never a need to really dress formally for any events. I really appreciated that.

The hubby woke up early every morning to catch sunsets and an early breakfast. Angelique and I thought it best to sleep in.

Our first stop was Nassau, Bahamas. We soaked up some sun on the beach and visited a local African museum. I like finding out about the history of the people of the places that I visit. You find that we are more similar than we are different.

I was convinced to pose like this for the shot but then I had sand stuck in my hair for about 4 days despite numerous shampoos.

It was hard being cut off for civilization for days upon days while on the ship so docking in MIA and getting back online was a treat for us all.

There is fantastic green foliage separating the beach from the park where people play volleyball, bike or jog along Collins Ave.

Angelique thought it would be a great idea for us to do an impromptu photo shoot in Vans with her dad’s Leica.
