Holidays are no joke!!!

Soo, I made a goal for myself to keep up on my blog not realizing I decided to do this right before the holiday season down-under.

Holiday is no joke here!

Everyone takes off for week long holiday trips, something I could totally get used to. However, I do not think our bank account could... HAHAHA!

A week after my last blog post we took off on the best vacation we have ever had and might possibly be the best vacation we will ever take in our lifetime; a 2 week New Zealand cruise!!! There are a few words I can use to describe this trip:

Amazing!
Phenomenal!
Fantastic!
Unbelievable!
Breath-taking!
Dreamy!
A Blessing!

Photographs and books do NZ no justice! Michael and I also agree that we now understand why they filmed Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit here, it's magical for sure!

With all this being said, I'm sure everyone is wondering, well... Where are the pictures??? I am embarrassed to say, I have not been able to edit yet and have not really posted any because it will, no joke, probably take me a week to edit. We took an empty 8g SD card for the trip and we ended up filling it by the last day. That's right.... I have to edit through 1400 pictures!!! And I don't want to rush because, like I said, this was a trip of a lifetime and I want them to be perfect and perfection cannot happen until Thing 1 and Thing 2 are back to school which is not for another week :)

This has been a very long holiday break but one filled with adventures and chaos, as one would expect in the Elliott home. Since this will be our last summer holiday in Australia we want to make it count and I promise, once we are back into our routine I will start posting about our AMAZING holiday :)
