Cruising it UP!

About 8 months ago, my sweet friend Anna asked if Chuck and I would help her pull of a HUGE surprise! Not only did she want to take her hubby, Brad, on a vacation for his 30th birthday, but she wanted us to come - and Brad not to know we would be joining them until the day of!

To say it all went down perfectly is an understatement! Anna told Brad THE MORNING of the vacation that they were leaving...but she didn't tell him where they were going...or who would be joining them..

We had such an amazing time and made memories I will most certainly never forget. We love us some DOYLE's!!! Tradition for 30th birthdays started this year - where we going next?!!

(p.s. - i just finished uploading all the photos - so sorry if there are too many! i didn't realize how many i uploaded and i can't bring myself to not share any less! this is not a lot in comparison to the almost 300 i took!) ENJOY, but BEWARE, it may make you jealous if it has been a while since you've seen waters this color!
