Did a California Coastal in October then our annual trip to Mazatlan for Christmas but this time only had two families join us. Had an awesome five months so far. Did a 16 night cruise to New Zealand and Australia with a few days before in Auckland and after in Perth. Both beautiful cities. ,celebrated our granddaughter's 21st Birthday in the Allure of the Seas sailing to Puerto Rico & St. Marteen. Had the entire family (18) join us in Puerto Vallarta for our nieces wedding. Seemed like we have never had everyone in the last couple of years together unless it was a birthday or graduation. Counting our blessings for all that the Lord has blessed us with. Just returned from the Big Island celebrating our granddaughter's 18 th birthday and high school graduation.
