Our time in the Bahamas is so great and so much fun. We took to the surfing like old pro's and ride the ways. Gym on other says, then scuba dive. Yes, we took a beginners course and it is such fun. We got through it and we manage to qualify as a level one scuba diver. Ryan is such a natural. I'm the one feeding the ocean life. One morning early we took the paddleboards out and greeted the day and life couldn't get more perfect than that. 

The following morning we pack up and took the shuttle back to the airport. Where we took our booked flight to Amsterdam. It is a sixteen-hour flight from the Bahamas to Amsterdam in the Netherlands. So yeah it's a very long sit but Ryan and I we caught up on some sleep. So most of the way we slept like babies. On the last stretch of our super long flight did Ryan held me on his lap while I slept. It was really nice. We finally land in Amsterdam, more in the Rotterdam region were my ancestry came from for a whole week we worked most of the gyms and Crossfit gyms in Rotterdam and later on in the main part of Amsterdam. We hit the first Crossfit gym and word instantly got out that Ryan and myself were in the city and soon the Crossfit fans stream in wanting to catch a glimpse of us. 

It is starting to get crazy, I never knew by winning the woman's individuals at the Crossfit Games will ever lead to this type of following. We got a couple of big orders for our ambassadorship with USN, Gymshark, and Reebok. It is really a huge thing to maintain the upkeep all the time given in the time and age we all live in around the globe. Yet people find the time and obviously the money to maintain the things they all love doing. We had a couple of photo shoots scheduled in London. I have to be in the USN HQ in London for a photo shoot.

We wrap up our busy Amsterdam holiday and flew the last few hours home. We land back in London and got my dad come to pick us up at the airport at nine AM. Daddy just hugged me over and over. 

'Everything okay daddy?'

'Yes, it is just nice having you kids home again.'

'Oh, it is nice to be home. When we won the casino jackpots in Vegas we decided to take a well deserved holiday from all the hard work we put in this past year.'

'Of course. You two deserved it after all the hard worked you've done this past year.'

'Daddy?' I called his attention.

'Yes, sweetheart.'

'You are going to be a grandpa.' We stood still in a lane waiting for a traffic light to change when his head whip around to look between me and Ryan.

'What?' I asked making sure he heard me correctly.

'You are going to be a grandpa.' I repeated it.

'It is true sir.'

'Oh, my gosh. This is so fantastic.' Dad jumped up and down in his car seat. People around us gave us weird looks.

'Where is mom?'

'She's at work. She found a job at RGA at the London Gherkin.' 

'That's great. Guess sitting at home wasn't really for her then huh.'

'Nope.' 

'Okay then let's find our way over there so we can give her the news.'

'You sure?' Ryan asked.

'Yes, I am sure.' 

'Okay.' Daddy made a left turn and off we go heading to the London Gherkin. We got a parking space in the building basement. We head on up all the way to the twentieth floor where mom work. We got our visitors passes and we surprise mom with flowers.

'Oh, my lovelies you both back. How was your holiday?'

'It was fantastic. Nadine really needed it.' Ryan took my hand and kissed it. People around us started to stare at us. Mom points us to the empty boardroom.
