Alston and I were fortunate enough to be able to plan a 10 year anniversary trip to Bora Bora! We chose to celebrate a little early and go before the madness of school started. We had a GREAT time and it was the most beautiful, picturesque place I have ever seen! Some highlights from the trip were; being First Class/Business Class, the full rainbow into the water we saw after the first night being there, our villa was awesome, dinner at La Villa Mahana and the VIP private table we had, feeding all the fish and watching the fish get feed, our favorite drink (the dirty banana), all the Tahitian sayings (La Orana (Hello) and Maruru (Thank you), "through the dark of night" (Alston's favorite saying while we were there), celebrity sighting (Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union, also there on there anniversary), seeing a lady bug on our last day, our 3 massages at the spa and Alston loved paddle boarding and his shark/sting ray excursion. It really was a relaxing vacation and just so thankful we were able to go and experience this awesome place! If it wasn't so hard to get there we just might go back sometime soon! Sorry for all the pictures but there are too many good ones not to share!

The girls of course were in good hands with Dee Dee and Pops for the first half and Mammy and Doo Da the second. They played with lots of new toys from Pops and Dee Dee, swam at their pool, went to the park and just had a great time! Mammy and Doo da took them to the club pool, to the carousel, the Disney store and the zoo! Lost of fun times had by all (hopefully!). Thank you so much to Dee Dee, Pops, Mammy and Doo Da for making this trip possible for us! We LOVE you!
