Vacation Recap


The first week of May my family took a Disney cruise to celebrate my Dad's 70th birthday.  I have to admit I was nervous and apprehensive about cruising especially with a 22 month old.  However the trip was amazing and the smiles on the kids faces are imprinted in my memory forever.  As my Mom said, it was exactly what she had hoped for - everyone got along, each family was able to do their own thing if they wanted, and oh yes we all had a little bit of fun!!

I have been wanting to recap our vacation and put together a slideshow video but cannot seem to get it to load.  Therefore I have decided to go the simplier route and just share some of the pictures and memories.
(sorry in advance for the picture overload!)



This might be my favorite picture...


Enjoying a sunset with Nana

Our day at sea consisted of unlimited drinks, ice cream bars, sunshine, and more water slides!



The cruise had two stops at port - one in Nassau Bahamas and the other the Disney private island Castaway  Cay.

In Nassau we took the kids to the Atlantis on an excursion.  While it was more money than we should have spent, we all had a blast enjoying their amazing grounds and water parks.  Did I mention how incredibly beautiful this place was, wow!?!


Stopping to check out one of the many many fish tanks 





The sixty foot water slide into a shark tank and YES that is ME!!!





The next day was Castaway Cay, equally beautiful but much more of a relaxing day.  


  The whole crew 


 Our little beach bum 




Nothing beats a nap pool side after fun filled days!


And because nothing is more magical than fireworks out in the middle of the ocean.


We cannot thank my parents enough for such a magical trip.  As the Disney crew told us when we departed " Until next time!" and we certainly hope we are fortunate enough to experience this again.
