Let's Talk About the Vacation 'Stache

Dentist husband comes from a family of nine kids.  Every three years, we take a trip to Newport Beach, CA and have a glorious week of family togetherness and beach fun.  Honestly, I love my husband's family.

About 10 years ago, instead of going to the beach, my father-in-law took us on a cruise.  On the cruise, Dentist husband invented the "cruise 'stache."  It was awful and I was almost embarrassed to be with him but since we were traveling with two kids and I was 7 months pregnant (yes, you read that right), I had no choice.  

Ever since then, on family vacations, Dentist husband and his brothers and brothers-in-laws grow a "vacation 'stache."  This year was a banner year for vacation 'staches and many of the men grew them ahead of time.  Dentist husband got a late start because I didn't let him have one at my 20 year reunion, which was just the weekend before.  

The whole crew, including my father-in-law.  He was a first time participant.  

Dentist husband with the "Ray Byes" which was a man in his church growing up.  His brothers and sisters saw him and all said, "Hey, you are growing a Ray Byes!"  Little does this man know, his mustache is famous.  

 Sibling #7's husband.  

Sibling #8's husband's chin beard.  This doesn't do it justice in that it was very creepy in real life.  

Sibling #5 husband

Sibling #1.  He started growing his weeks before the reunion.  

Sibling #9

My father in law

Sibling #6 husband

I forgot to take one of two people, Sibling #2 and Sibling husband #4.  But, I found this hilarious picture taken at the Luau a few days before.  The man holding the baby in the back is Sibling Husband #4 and the one next to my husband is sibling #2 and he is a surgeon.  I know.  Hard to believe. (Actually, they were doing hilarious poses for everyone during a photo shoot of all of the men.  These two are HILARIOUS together.)  

Anyway, it was a great trip.  We love Newport.
