Vacation Day 1

So we debated back and forth for a while about what to do for spring break this year.  We finally decided to pull the trigger on the cruise and then it was full.  Yeah, spring break is a popular time for cruising.  But then a week later the travel agent said there was an opening so we jumped on it.  Most people thought we were crazy for taking our three young kids on a 7 day cruise by ourselves but we all had a great time!  Next time we hope to convince some grandparents to come along but if not we’d still to it again.  The best part for us, we left out of New Orleans so we only had a 25 min drive!


Waiting…lots of waiting to board the ship but thanks to Justin’s ties with the port we got early boarding which was nice with the kids.  We got one by 11am and where able to have lunch before it got too crowded.


Everybody checking out the view from our room.  We had what they call a family suite, your typical cruise queen, a fold out couch for two and a bunk bed.  It worked out perfect for us.

Since we got on so early we had some time to check everything out.  A quick round of miniature golf.

One game was all he could handle!

View from our cabin. 


Having fun playing while the others swam.  Biggest draw back to taking a 2 yr old on the cruise.  They don’t allow them in the pools.  Bad when you have old siblings but he did ok with it and on the last day we let him play around a little bit.


He fell asleep many time in the stroller this week.

First swim.
