Fans flooded the comments, praising Jon for taking his kids on such an epic trip. “Absolutely gorgeous! I’m so glad your [sic] getting some time with the kids,” one fan wrote, and another commented, “You are an awesome dad! They look so happy.”

Jon previously teased his big Thanksgiving surprise in an exclusive interview with In Touch at the Victoria’s Voice event presented by the Victoria Siegel Foundation and Greenspoon Marder LLP at Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casin earlier this month. “It’s so awesome,” Jon gushed. “It’s like the first time I get to go away with the two kids, Hannah and Collin. It’s amazing, our trip is amazing.”

He teased that they would be going somewhere that would require “passports.” Their entire blended family would also be joining them on the trip, including his girlfriend, Colleen Conrad. “So it’s Colleen’s family and us, me, Hannah and Collin. But it’s our family. I always consider me, Colleen, her kids, Jordan and Jesse [family,]” Jon continued. “Jesse lives in Manhattan and Jordan goes to Temple in Philly and Hannah and Collin. That’s our family. We’re very blended, racially, whatever.”

Colleen took to Instagram to share some snaps from their vacay, too. “Current view. Much needed vacation,” she wrote in the caption of a beautiful view of a sunset over a mountain that overlooked a beach. “Love being with my family!!” she captioned a series of photos of their family enjoying a day by the beach. We hope their entire family has a blast!
