After a Vacation You Need a Vacation

The first day after the vacation is tough, "The Madge" turned in last night at 9:30 and immediately fell asleep, I stayed awake until 11:00 and then went down for the count. Now it's back to the old routine of doing very little. I was going through Coopers luggage and noticed a few pictures that he brought home with him from the Resort. I think he made a couple of friends and maybe something more than a friend. Here's what I found.

Now that things are settling down, I can honestly say that everyone in the family had a great time and did what they wanted to do at their own pace. It IS the way to vacation with a family especially one that has four girls excluding "The Madge". No fights, arguments nor getting on each others nerves, this was the way to go. Some awards that were earned were;
1. I wish I was a girl award - winner Mark after spending over $100 for a manicure and a PEDICURE.
2. Most Courageous award - winner Henry, he did things that he himself probably thought he could never do or willing to attempt if he was alone.
3. Seasick award - three way tie Allison, Colleen and Mark with runner up "I felt a little nauseous" by Ryan.
4. Most wine purchased - winner "The Madge" and the coveted Most wine consumed award also went to "The Madge".
5. Largest total bar bill - winner ME, $1,250 just on drinks.
6. Biggest tipper - winner Mark but let it be known that he was using my credit card.
7. Most active couple - winner Colleen and Mark, they hit every bar and did every physical activity that was offered.
8. Boy do I feel like a spaz award - winner Brad, trying the boogie board for the first time with EVERYONE watching.
9. Identity crisis award - winner Sean, if you were a stranger you would have thought his name was Buddy, Butters or Junior.
10. Least active award - winner Me again, missed all the port calls BUT did finish two books.
11. Happiest award - winner Caden, does he ever not smile or laugh?
12. Largest purchase award - winner Meaghan with a diamond and sapphire ring.
13. Least weight gain award - winner Erin she actually loss.

More to come.
