Count the Sesame Street Characters

Jason made it his personal mission to make sure he had his picture taken with every Sesame Street character on vacation.....mission accomplished!!

Vacation!!

Although it wasn't how we originally invisioned spending our 10 year anniversary, we had a fabulous time celebrating as a family at Beaches Turks & Caicos!! We lucked out and got a killer upgrade to the italian village. This gave us a room with a separate kids room furnished with a bunck bed and trundle bed and it's own TV and X-Box. Nicholas loved having the extra space and it was so nice not having us all in one small space lined up cot-bed-crib as usual. Jason also used the extra room for naps but still slept in our room at night in the crib. The room also had a fully stocked bar and nice deep tub in the bathroom which the kids had a blast playing in. The best part was that is was a ground floor room so it was easy to get the stroller in and out. We had the pool 30 steps to the left and a bar and restaurant even close to the right. We all enjoyed hanging out on the patio and it was so easy to come and go during the day. Here is the kids room... as you can see vacation really wears the boys out!!

View from one of the restaurants on the beach... this became a favortie spot since the boys could play in the sand while we enjoyed another cocktail.....

Since we were just at this resort ~18 months ago, we got invited to the repeaters lunch. One of the perks was personal visits from Elmo with all the kids :)

The boys enjoying some time in the sand while Mom and Dad have dinner on the beach......

After dinner ice cream runs were always a fun time!!

Proof that the water tricycles are still fun in the sand..........

Rockin' out before the Sesame Street shows each night......

The boys always enjoyed grabbing some chocolate chip cookies in the kids area of the lobby....

It doesn't get any better than watching your kids have an absolute blast on vacation.... already planning our next adventure :)
