  • This morning we woke up early and had breakfast at the hotel. Then we drove about 5 minutes and we arrived at Legoland, Florida! CSP grew up playing with Legos and he’s always wanted to go to Legoland. We woke up to gorgeous weather and got to the park just after it opened. It was…

  • Today we hit the road for Florida! We have been waiting for this vacation for a long time- it’s been a year and 9 months since our last vacation! We had a long drive ahead of us, as it would take at least 9 hours plus stops to get to Winter Haven, Florida. We stopped…

  • Friday afternoon two of my besties joined Sara, Morgan, Lauren, and me in Valle Crucis for my 50th birthday celebration! We got Michelle and Jennifer settled in their rooms and spent a little time on the front porch then went across the street to do some shopping at Mast General Store. We came back and…

  • Last week CSP, Betty, and I went up to Valle Crucis, NC for a family getaway to celebrate my 50th birthday!!! We had a FULL house! My Mom, her dog Bea, stepdad, sister Sara, BIL Marc, nephews Jacob and Joey, their dog Gypsy, sister Morgan, her partner Lauren, their 2 dogs Copper and Penny, Uncle…

  • Today is Castaway Cay day!!! Today’s forecast was beautiful and we were on Disney’s private island so what could be better?!? We had a surprise excursion booked for 9 am on the island so we woke up early and ate breakfast at Cabanas buffet. Then we debarked and took the tram to the stingray hut.…

  • When we got back to the ship we went to the room to shower and get ready for dinner. On our way to dinner we passed Pepe the King Prawn’s stateroom #5148 1/2. It’s so cute! It’s on deck 5 and is only about 2 feet tall. We also passed the GIANT screen by the…

  • Today we are in Nassau, Bahamas! We woke up early since we are getting off the ship and went to Cabanas buffet for breakfast. On the way to breakfast we hid a few ducks. Hiding (and finding) ducks on cruise ships is fun! You never know where you’ll see one! We re-hide the ones we…

  • Today is our last sea day of this cruise. I LOVE a sea day! CSP & I awoke to find ourselves alone in our room. MIL had gone out to have breakfast at Cabanas. We decided to go to Royal Court for breakfast since we’d had breakfast in Cabanas the previous two days. We had…

  • Today we woke up and went to breakfast at the Cabana’s buffet again. It’s the fastest option vs a sit down served breakfast at Royal Court. We couldn’t help but notice the gray skies and rain. The forecast for today was rain ALL DAY, and not just sprinkles, but full on RAIN rain! This put…

  • After our fabulous island taxi tour we were famished so we went to Flanagan’s Irish Pub in Hamilton for lunch. Well, a late lunch as it was approaching 3pm. It was pretty warm by now so we opted to sit inside and enjoy the AC but we did have a table by the window with…
