The past six days were spent on Paradise Island (how awesome is that name?) for our annual family (adults) trip to the Bahamas. Breakfast overlooking the ocean, days spent at the pool and beach with adult drinks and lunch delivered to our chairs. Naps. Happy hours. Unbelievably awesome dinners followed by gambling and shopping and the best sleep anyone can imagine. Not to mention, the best company this life has to offer.
I’ll pause while all of you still stuck in winter get your hate on.
But there is that moment on any vacation (especially the ones where everyone doesn’t go) that no matter how heavenly the sun and sand and moments are, you want to return home. To the kids, the rest of the family, to your friends and to THE DOGS!!!
While they were very well cared for and loved on, I can say with all honesty that snuggling with the boys on a cold winters night is just as spectacular as any day in Paradise. Love is strange, indeed.
Just a few photos so you don’t hate TOO much..

Tune in tomorrow for an update on Melvin (I got a call from the vet while on the trip) — he’s totally fine (but I was so nervous answering the call!)
Jealous! Hope you had a wonderful time!
It was so awesome! And I’m just as happy to be back home with the boys, even though it’s still freezing!
I’m totally getting my hate on (just a little bit). Glad you had fun! So gorgeous!
I would hate you a little too!!! 🙂
So jealous. I am watching a friend’s dog while she is on vacation in Mexico, my husband is going on a work trip (but still cooler than staying home) to New York and I wish I could go on a vacation myself!!
We need to make that happen!
Jealous!
Understood!
It certainly does look like paradise.
I want to live there! Too bad Jake hates heat!
Yep, I’m jealous. I could really use some warm sun right now, but you’re right, I’d miss the dogs!
Spring is coming! Sunshine is coming! If you say it enough it MIGHT happen!
Jealousy at an all time here. Come on sun, find your way to Chicago!
You guys have really had a rough winter! Have the lakes even thawed out yet???
SO JEALOUS!! But we know what you mean about missing home!
There is no place like it!
A little bit jealous of the weather, but I’m like you! Snuggling with my dogs is almost as good………minus the tropical drinks! 🙁
Yes, if only someone would bring me a Pina Colada while I’m putting on a second layer and double socks!
