Home feels good too!

We arrived home safely tonight after the most magical vacation. We never did go on a honeymoon. But, while we were there we got asked if we had just gotten married and were on our honeymoon. That was the day after I turned 40! WOOHOO! I'll take it!

French Polynesia is so beautiful. I felt like I was in a dream every day. I am so grateful to have had this experience and to have seen it all with my favourite person. We get very little time together now, so a week away with no responsibility or cell phone was the best present ever. Thanks Dave!

We biked, snorkelled, hiked, swam and sat around a bit too. We loved the warmth and sunshine.

But, it was great to get home safely and see our kids tonight. Home is a great place to be. Not gonna lie though, I could do without the snow.

New favourite drink - virgin chi-chi in a coconut. Delicious!

Birthday cake from the Captain delivered to our room!

A snorkelling adventure off the coast of Moorea.

As we departed from Huanine...


Bora Bora is the island seen behind us. We were on a small private island for a whole afternoon.
