This is called the "Hamm Family Vacation" because it was in memory of Dorisnel "Mama D" and Papa Jack Hamm. Mama D and Papa Jack left a small inheritance to their 4 children, Dawna, Monty, Charlotte and Jerry, and "the siblings" (as they call themselves) decided to set aside a portion to go on the first-ever family vacation together with their families. The cruise was even more fun than I expected and it gave us a chance to do our own activities, but still connect as a group during dinners and a few select events such as the boat on Cozumel and a white-elephant gift exchange on the last evening.
The group included:
- Dawna, John and their kids Grant, Whitney and Austin. Cadie, Jack Ranger and I obviously go with this branch of the family. Whitney's boyfriend, Daniel, also joined us. Sadly, Preston couldn't come on this trip and we missed him!
- Monty and his son Myles
- Charlotte and her husband Ken. Charlotte's two children Stewart and Colette. Ken's two children, Emma and Jared also came. Colette's boyfriend came and he was really nice, but I can't remember his name! :(
- Jerry and Susan and their daughter Lauren
A few highlights to recap the trip:
- Scuba diving with Cadie
- Jack Ranger winning the dance contest
- Ice-cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner (this was the kid's highlight)
- Grant, Austin, Big John, Daniel and Lauren winning the week-long trivia competition
- Remembering Mama D and Papa Jack and their legacy of faith and love
