I just got back from a great vacation in the Bahamas with my family. I was happy to be going because it was a chance to vacation with my sister and her family. My kids love to play with their cousins and it’s always great to spend some extra time with my sister and brother-in-law—I’m lucky I have family who I would chose as friends.

And let’s face it, even a bad day at the beach is better than a good day almost anywhere else! Sorry to say, as much fun as I had jumping in the waves sipping daiquiris by the pool, and acting like a kid with my kids, the star of my vacation was neither human nor alcoholic beverage.

The absolute highlight of my week was a little excursion to a Dolphin Cay where I got to frolic, swim, and be pushed around like a toy by the dolphins! I even got to kiss and hug a dolphin named Isis.

I am thrilled to report I checked off another item from my list of things I wanted to do or see before I die: SWIMMING WITH DOLPHINS.

Tell me something you have experienced that was a major item on your wish list. Or share a dream you hope to fulfill someday. Remember! Challenge me. Anything you share I have to work into a story for you when November is over.
