Ahhhh. That is all.

One question: WHY THE HELL HAVEN'T WE DONE THIS BEFORE?!?!?!

Seriously, Roatan was amazing. Astounding. Awesome. A-Okay.

I don't really know WHY we've never taken off in late-December before! It was SO nice to escape the snow and cold.

So here is a slight breakdown of our family trip.

But, really, words and pictures can not even come close to describing or showing just how fun/relaxing/perfect this vacation truly was.

Here is how the majority of my airport time went - waiting for TSA agents to get around to patting me down. It wasn't that bad actually. :)

Unfortunately, this was the task that faced me when we arrived at the house - about 65 stairs! Yikes! NOT fun on crutches. Thankfully, there is not a ton to go do on the island (since I refuse to go anywhere that may put me in contact with any variety of sea monster)... So I pretty much just stayed at the bottom of these stairs for 10 days!

Mom and I looking surprisingly chipper at the Roatan airport - even though we were dressed for winter and were greeted with long lines and 80 degree temps!

Me and the parentals. Sorry that is a terrible pic Mom, but maybe you'll learn to open those pretty hazel eyes... ;)

This was how we spent most of our days:

Or down here: (LOVED the pool, i was even able to get in and float a bit - no kicking allowed though)!

The gang (minus me and mom) took a trip down to the beach... I decided the stairs weren't worth it LOL

The view from our wrap-around porch. Seriously?

Sunset. Amazing.

yes, this man raised me. truly frightening though some days...

The Zip-Liners. Obviously I was not allowed to go. :( So sad about that... But it's a great excuse to come back next year!!!

We played a LOT of Uno. And Monopoly Deal. And Cribbage. Sometimes even in the pool!

Lounging in the sun...

Bye Roatan! Thanks for showing us such a great time! :)

*This is pretty much the only picture I am in. And I had to take it myself. Oh well.
