Day One - We're Off!

Well, we've been home a little over a week now and I'm still going through cruise withdrawals. The ground has finally stopped moving (had a hard time playing the piano for choir practice that first day back since the piano wouldn't stop moving!), the kids are back to school with their independent study work done, but I'm still sad that there is no cruise scheduled in our future. May have to remedy that soon!
(Feel free to skip all the writing in these posts or just skim!)
I've been putting off blogging for a couple of reasons. The amount of pictures to go through is a little overwhelming. I've also completed a photo book since we've been home and Parker has made a DVD of our pictures as well. Isn't that good enough? Probably, but I would like to have our trip chronicled here as well.

We flew to Orlando on Friday, November 13th and stayed overnight at a hotel by the airport. We stayed there our last cruise and had to wait almost 30 minutes for the shuttle to get us. This time it was about 40 minutes. I don't think we'll be staying there again.



Getting ready to board the ship!

Welcome Aboard treats from my mom and dad. Each one of our rooms had a special treat. This one was ours.

We're back! Watch out ship ... here we come!


Adventure's Away Deck Party

(Notice Calissa's pony tail ... she was dancing away! Parker wasn't too excited about the dancing.)
It was nice having family on the trip with us to take some pictures of all of us!


Ready to head out to sea.

Our first towel creation from night one.

Great summary Jennifer! That is some serious time blogging, but I love the pictures. The water is spectacular! What a fun, magical memory for your kids.

What a great time for you and your kids and parents and brother's family! I would love doing something like this with our whole family someday.
