Finally some warm weather!


A Cruise!
After nearly 15 years, we got back on board...this time with kids in tow!
We left the cold of Chicago and headed to the Caribbean for 7 days of sun, surf and sand. Well, more like ships, islands and beaches..but it doesn't have the same ring to it.
We flew to Orlando, Florida. Hired a car and drove 1 hour to Port Canaveral (where the Space Shuttle lived) and boarded our ship with the 4000 other passengers. It was actually quite a chilly day, the East Coast had a huge cold front so it was unseasonably cold.
The first full day was spent at sea. The next day was a nice hot day spent on Labadee beach in Haiti. On the following days we visited Jamaica, Cayman Island and Cozumel, Mexico. The kids had a great time. They swam with stingrays and dolphins, played mini golf, climbed a rock wall and surfed a Flo-Rider. Dave and I enjoyed doing nothing!
We returned to a winter storm...we haven't had much snow this season, so it was actually nice to see everything turn white.
