Spring Break

Have you ever had a really big dream? Our family has dreamt of going on a cruise together for a very long time. We saved our pennies, planned, prepared, and finally took a long-awaited cruise to the Bahamas. We spent 7 days and nights together. Destinations included Port Canaveral Florida where we went on a dolphin and manatee watching expedition, Nassau Bahamas where we explored the city and did some shopping, and CocoCay Bahamas where we spent a day on the most beautiful beach we'd ever seen. The weather was amazing, mostly low 80's with low humidity and plenty of sunshine and gentle breezes. The people were amazing too, friendly and helpful. On the ship, we ate wonderful meals, walked around the top deck where the vistas were breathtaking, ate some more, took in a few shows, ate some more, listened to live music, ate some more, played shuffleboard, and slept. The kids did rock climbing, bungie trampoline jumping, swam in the ship's pool, and did plenty of sleeping in, reading, and playing on their electronic devices. It was interesting getting used to the rocking of the ship, and also interesting that we continued to feel the land rock for the first couple of days back home. We all agree that our favorite part of the trip was the beach at CocoCay, snorkeling and floating around on top of the water.
