We decided we needed a Family vacation while both Ben & Nick had time off from their busy school and work scheduals. Jacquie being the great sport she is asked/told Dr. Dungan she would be unavailable during that time. He was so very nice to allow her the time off. We had to quickly get passports ordered and renewed for Ben & Bennett and that is to long of a story to tell here.
We left Summerville on Friday afternoon and drove down to Orlando where we met up with Derek, Diana and Garrett for a day of fun at Disney's Animal Kingdom & Epcot!
Then on to Tampa where we boarded the Jewel of the Seas for a wonderful 5 day cruise of the Western Caribbean.

We enjoyed having Garrett and his lovely girlfriend Tori come and spend Thanksgiving weekend with us! Everyone enjoyed playing football and eating Turkey smoked in Darren's Brickoven. We visited some of the sights around Charleston and took lots of Family pictures at Folly Beach. Bennett entertained us with some Breakdancing;)
