Back from Cruising!

Back in the office finally after teaching on a seven day cruise through the Caribbean. This shot I took when we were docked in Curacao. This event was presented by Cruising Through Life and Matt Kloskowski, Dave Cross, and I all had a great time learning and laughing with all the attendees. We made stops in Aruba and Curacao. Really interesting places and hotter than you can imagine!!! When we weren’t soaking up the sun, we were in the classroom having fun with Photoshop. I hope everyone had as much fun learning as we did teaching. It was a really great group of people and we all had a blast! Although I think we all would agree it’s nice to be back home!!!
