Yes it's almost time to start thinking about 2019 Christmas Cards, but here are the pics from the shoot for our 2018 Christmas Cards. Hope you enjoy!

We enjoyed going over to Atlanta this year to watch Atlanta's MLS team, Atlanta United, play.  The team is very good and draws big crowds (70+ thousand!)  This year the team made the playoffs and won the MLS Championship.  We were fortunate to be a part of the championship run and even got to attend the MLS Cup Championship final.  Check out some of our pics from the 2018 season.

We started our final day on Turks with a visit to Emerald Point. It's tranquil water, beautiful beaches, lack of crowds, and plethora of seashells made it one of our favorite beaches on the island.

For lunch, we hit up Danny Bouys in Grace Bay and did some shopping at some of the local shops. Lunch was pretty average and the shops were about what you'd expect in this popular area.
After lunch we headed to the far northwest side of the island to visit the remote and secluded Malcolm Roads Beach. It was a nice beach, but the facilities were abandoned, unkept, and overgrown which gave it a creepy feeling. We did not stay long.

From there, it was back to the house for some pool and packing. Our week-long trip had come to an end.

Final thoughts on Turks: Beautiful island with the maybe most turqoise waters we've seen. Most of the beaches draw crowds, especially the larger ones like Grace Bay. There are less crowded beaches but generally they are harder to find and get to. The island is expensive, even compared to other Caribbean islands. As always, prices are better once you get off the beaten path. We checked off most of the items on the to-do list here, so I'm not sure how soon we will be back, but it's definitely worth a visit!

Day 6 we took the ferry over to Middle Caicos. This island is the largest of the Turk islands, but is far less developed and populated than Providenciales. Our main reason for coming over was to visit Mudjin Harbour, considered by many to be the most scenic spot in the Turks and Caicos. It did not disappoint.n an extensive and shallow bay, so the water here is calm, clear, and a little warmer than surrounding coasts.

We also visited Bambarra Beach, located on an extensive and shallow bay. The water here is calm, clear, and shallow making it perfect for kids. After some time at the beach, we headed back to Mudjin for lunch at the Mudjin Bar & Grill. After lunch, we had just enough time to visit the Indian Caves before heading back to catch the ferry home.

Back on Providenciales, we tried out Chinson's Grill, a restaurant sepcializing in Chinese and Jamaican fare. Despit the seemingly odd combination, it was highly rated and did not disappoint. Also very afforable compared to other spots on the island! If we had more time, we would have eaten here multiple times!

Check out our pics from Day 6! Pics from our last day are coming soon.

We started Sunday with a visit to Smiths Reef for some snorkeling and beach fun. Then, we headed over to the world-famous "Da Conch Shack" for a delicious lunch. This was about the point Finley decided she was done with picture-taking and decided to face backwards in the photos. After lunch, we headed over to Bights Reef for some more snorkeling and fun on the beach. It was a fun and relaxing day - check out the pics!
