Spring-time dreamin'

It's been a long winter.  We've had record snowfall.  We've run out of space in the backyard to place the snow!  We are preparing for flooding if and when it melts.

I'd rather be spring-time dreamin'.  So instead, I'll take you on a little cruise, a Disney Cruise on the Fantasy:

We enjoyed our W Caribbean cruise!  The kids were delighted by the Aquaduck (altho they weren't heavy enough to go on the Aquaduck on their own so one of us parents had to accompany each rider -- brrr, it was cold!).  They also enjoyed the Midship Detective Agency.  The food was fabulous!

Our ports of call were St Thomas, San Juan (Puerto Rico) and Disney's Castaway Cay (Bahamas).

St. Thomas was beautiful from a distance but quite impoverished up close.

It was quite cool the day that we were at Castaway Cay so it was a great morning to go for a bike ride.
Snorkelling on Castaway Cay
K, N & my dh went snorkelling for the first time. The water was cold.  N announced that she can strike snorkelling off her bucket list now!
San Juan was our favorite destination.  All four of us enjoyed a tour of the Fortress of San Cristobal & the Disney cast entertained K & N while my dh and I ventured out to explore San Juan for an hour (aka shop)!

I feel much better now!  Although I am looking forward to warmer climates, I am ready to don the winter boots & jackets tomorrow!

  5. Hello MJ! Nice to hear from you...we are very tired of all the snow storms we have been getting...I'm looking at your cruise from last year and thinking how nice that would be! We may take a little trip of our own, soon. :)

    Hope all is well...I'll bet the girls are getting SO big!

    Bebe is now in Kindergarten....she had two years of pre school so we thought she was ready. It has been a good experience!

    Enjoy your week!
