I took this picture of Esmé and Darin in the Bahamas in the spring of 2011. It's my very favourite picture from last year. It was one of the most amazing days we spent together as a family in 2011. Everyone was healthy, happy and relaxed. We'd just spent a week in the Outer Banks of North Carolina with friends and at the last minute we decided as a family to head south to Florida and go on a Cruise before heading home.
When we got off the ship in Freeport we decided to do our own thing. We knew we'd made the right choice when we saw lines of hundreds of people waiting to board buses for the cruise line arranged shore excursions.
We found a driver and spent a couple of hours hiking through the caves of the Lucayan National Park and at the end of the trail we discovered the most gorgeous beach I've ever seen (quite possibly the most beautiful beach in the entire world!). We played together on this stunning, endless white sand beach for hours. The best part was we were the only people there. On the way back to the boat we stopped at a little beach cafe for some fresh, just warm from the oven banana bread. Bliss.
Ezzy's face in this picture completely captures the wonder and happiness of that day. I love it.
