Julie: I am here at beautiful Beaches Turks and Caicos with my husband Phil (ph), my daughter Dineila (ph) and my son Dillon. And we are going to show you what it's really like to take your kids on a family vacation. This is the first time that kids flew on a plane and I was a little nervous about keeping them busy through two flights down and two flights back. So I came prepared; books, portal DVD player and hand-held games. Dillon did great. He thought the race to make our connecting flight was hilarious but Dineila got a little sick along the way. Good thing I had some Dramamine for our second flight. And we finally made it. One little problem, our bags did not make it. So we are all here. We are enjoying beautiful Turks and Caicos on a gorgeous day without our luggage but the good thing is I did put bathing suits for all of us in our carry-on, that and a little sun block was all the kids needed to enjoy the pool while I got the little time to relax. He just loves lying in the pool together, just floating around. So cool, being in water. Dillon you like being in the water? Phil: Like being in the water buddy? Dillon: I don't want any picture. Julie: You don't want any pictures. Okay, no pictures please. Even though we were on vacation we still made time for naps and Dillon definitely needed one, especially after all that travel. See you in the morning light. Night, night Dillon. It's been a long day traveling. You are pretty sleepy right? Good night. It's nap time. The bags finally arrived and after a good night sleep, we got to spend some one-on-one time with the kids. I took Dineila shopping. Phil and Dillon played billiards. This vacation was all about the kids. So we got down to the list of activities they were looking for to. Dineila: This is what I wrote to daddy. It is the third day of Turks and Caicos. Today I am going to the water park and we are going to have breakfast at Bearfoot. It will be fun. Julie: Because Dillon only let big boys and girls into the water park. So if they see you being carried they might think you are baby. So we want them to see how big our big of a boy you are. So should we all walk? Dillon: Ya. Julie: Who has some -? Dillon: I would love to be carried but I have to walk for getting the ticket. Julie: Cute, very cute. Phil: You got to try this really. Why not? Julie: I don't think so. Dineila had a blast but Dillon didn't really want to get wet. Dillon and I split up so both of the kids were happy. That same day we also hit the beach and had a little fun at the dinner. What an exciting day! Good morning, it's Thursday morning. And we are in line for the Sesame Street Breakfast with the characters and Dineila. She is seven years old today. I can't believe it. seven year she will go today. She was born. She is very excited for this breakfast. Say good morning Dineila. Daniela: Hi! Female Speaker: Just want to say another happy birthday to Dineila. Happy birthday Dineila. Happy birthday to you. [Cross Talk]. The celebration continued all day long ending with a special cake for Dineila. Male Speaker: Happy birthday dear Dineila. Happy birthday to you. Julie: And just like that our vacation was over and it was time to head back home. So now I am doing a little packing while they take a walk around and check out Beaches for the last time. And I can't understand why I have more stuff now than when we got here and I can't put it all in the suit case. Check it all out. Look at all this. Our suit cases are absolutely stuffed. This one's just about full and I still have stuff everywhere. But eventually I managed to get it all in and we were on our way. Kids had a blast. And the vacation was a huge success.
