Jamaica!

A classic Abbie expression



Just a quick update and a few photos. Abbie and I had a great time in Jamaica. The entire trip went off without a hitch. As you might imagine, it was three solid days of sun and swimming. 

Late at night on the beach

The travel company arranged a reception for Wednesday evening (the day we arrived), then arranged a 4-hour catamaran & snorkeling trip for Thursday morning, and a beach party for Friday night.

Aside from these excursions, Abbie and I did a powerboat & snorkeling trip on Saturday morning with one of the other moms on the trip. Ironically, that was by far our favorite activity. 

Enjoying the powerboat

It was a much more intimate setting and our guides were fabulous. Abbie brought her underwater camera, and the guides, who are accustomed to diving 30- to 40-feet down for spear fishing were more than happy to get extra footage of the reef for her.

Now that we are back to the usual routine, Abbie is back to work. She is also back to wearing bangs. She says her face "needs" them. I am not sure whether that is true or not, but they do look nice.

Bangs!

Next up is Senior Prom on April 6th. More photos to come, no doubt!

College bound

Just a quick college update - Although we still have not heard from most schools, we do know that Abbie will be attending college next year. She has been accepted to UVA, which has really taken the stress off of her. We don't know where she will ultimately decide to attend, but we can confidently say that she will not be selling windows in the Fall! LOL.

The other big excitement is our Spring Break trip to Jamaica, which is quickly approaching. She and I will be spending four nights at an all-inclusive resort, along with a bunch of other families from her school. Hopefully, I will finally remember to get some photos so we can have a proper blog update! More to come!
