Favorite Vacations-
Pretty much all of our vacations have been great and so they are all our favorites. These are our bigger vacations over the years.

1. For our honeymoon we went to Hawaii. We spent a week at a condo just across the street from the beach. We had so much fun driving around the Island, hiking and hanging out on the beaches. hawaii1
2. Our second major vacation was when Nicole finished nursing school, but before we had Carson and we decided to do something spontaneous and fun. So we booked a cruise! We had no idea that it would be so much fun, we still talk about it and look forward to when we can go again.

3. When Carson was a year old we took him to Disneyland. The plane ride was not a whole lot of fun, Carson gets really sick in the car and the plane was no different. Disneyland was definitely a little overwhelming for him, but overall we had a lot of fun and don't regret taking him. Although we would love to take him again when he can remember it a little more.

4. Then when Nicole was pregnant with Mersadie Nicole's family decided to go to Hawaii for a month so we decided to take advantage of that and went and stayed with them for a week. Hawaii is a place we could go to over and over and never get sick of it. Carson was in love! He could not get enough of the sand, we are pretty sure we were still finding sand in his ears when we got home.

5. This past summer we decided we were over due for a vacation so we took two weeks and went back east to Washington DC, Pennsylvania and New York. We saw a TON of sites, had a lot of fun and were very impressed by how well the kids did. It wasn't until the last two days that they started acting like they were ready to go home.
