The Manco/Cochran Family Cruise

Last weekend our family returned from a 7 day Caribbean cruise on board the Ruby Princess.  It was truly an amazing vacation!  We met my parents and brothers in Ft. Lauderdale to begin our first Manco/Cochran family vacation :)  We stopped in Bermuda for a beach day on a private island, took a catamaran ride and snorkeled in St. Maarten, shopped in St. Thomas, and had another gorgeous beach day in Turks and Cacaos (my favorite port!)  Sam had so much fun swimming, exploring the boat, eating delicious food, and  most of all spending time with his uncles and grandparents :)  It didn't take him long to get into vacation mode...he slept 11-12 hours every night which was definitely a highlight for his two very sleep deprived parents :)  We came back feeling relaxed, refreshed, and ready for spring!
Below are just a few pictures from our fun family vacation in the Caribbean...
