This year for Spring Break we headed to Hanoi and Halong Bay, Vietnam with our traveling friends the Reids. We spent the first couple of days in Hanoi and then went on a Junk Boat Cruise for 2 nights on Halong Bay then back to Hanoi to finish out the holiday. As I am beyond behind on getting anything on the blog these next few posts will be told through pictures...enjoy!

After a couple of days of sightseeing in Hanoi we took a 4 hour drive to Halong Bay for our cruise around the bay. This was the part of the holiday that we were all looking forward to the most. Relaxing and enjoying the different activities and of course the beautiful scenery.
Our junk boat had 10 cabins. Our group took up four of the cabins. The rest of the group had no children...oops on them! There was even a couple on their honeymoon. Oh well! I think everyone had a great time.

| Members of a local floating fishing village are coming to pick us up from the junk boat to take us to the village. |
