Disney Fantasy '15

In celebration of Dad's safe return home we pulled the kids from school and hopped on the Disney boat for a relaxing week at sea. We of course wanted to make certain it had "educational" experiences as well, so we took advantage of Western Caribbean hospitality and enjoyed port adventures left and right. Our first stop was Cozumel where we toured the Mayan ruins, then hopped over to the yummy chocolate factory where we learned how to make all things chocolate. Our next stop was Jamaica. Here we climbed the famous Dunn's River Waterfall. It's a 600 foot long waterfall with small lagoons and a few slides along the way. It was an awesome experience, in which not one of us fell (intentionally) during the entire climb. Grandma Darden and Azure stayed to play on the boat for this particular adventure, and once we showed them all of our great pictures they were glad to have done so. Kadyn and I had our first try at parasailing on this trip and we both give it two thumbs up and would return to the sky in a heartbeat. Hours of pool, beach, dance parties, and delicious dinners, we returned home with more amazing family memories to write in our journals. More than anything we are so grateful to have our family "whole" once again.
