Day 8 - Caribbean Cruise 2015 - Time to go home

I wanted to capture how great the bathroom was because it's not very likely we'll be in a room with such a great bathroom any time soon.

Look - a separate space for a toilet!

The sink

Show WITH WITH WITH a bathtub!!!

Here's the curtain that separated the bed from the couch area where the kids slept each night.  It was a fantastic set up.  I guess I will have to watch the cruise deals to find another sweet deal on a suite.  (get it?)

This is how the kids slept - - with Emmalyn's bed pushed up against the couch where Maxwell slept.  When I took this pic I thought it was sweet how they were sleeping as close to each other as they could get.

The last meal on the boat before it was time to go.  It was so much fun  - fun to spend time with my husband, fun to spend time with my kids, fun to spend time with my sisters-in-law and my niece and nephews.  I love cruising!!!

He thought the little milk cartons were pretty cool

We all had breakfast together - - this is how Max and Jaxton were sitting (note Lola's hand on Max's back).  It's a perfect visual for the close bond that developed between Maxwell and his cousins.  We normally only get to see them for hours at a time over a couple days, so to be able to spend a whole week together really created some special bonds.  Wish we could do this more often!

All the kids

Silly faces

(Emmalyn's thought "what is this silly kid doing?")

(Emmalyn's thought "this silly kid is doing it too!")

My kids and Aunt Tawny, Lola, Jaxton, and Payton - - - Love you guys!

Waiting for Dad to bring the car to pick us up with all our luggage.  Notice the jackets are back.  It was just as cold in Houston as it was when we left!  (When we got home we learned we had missed another big snow storm, too.)

We took Aunt Aja to the airport in Houston and then headed home.  The drive went really well and it was certainly nice to get home relatively quickly compared to sitting at an airport for a few hours waiting for a flight, then flying home, then getting your luggage, and then driving home.

Hello, Dallas!
