this was big for us.
the longest we've left our kids.
the farthest we've gone together.
it was heavenly.
friday, the 6th we loaded up our 3 boys and all of our stuff & headed to kansas.
aj's parents were so kind to watch our boys for us for 6 days while we galavanted around.
that's a big job.
saturday, the 7th, aj and i got up at 3:45 am to head for the wichita airport.
adrenaline definitely kicked in . . . we were so excited!
case in point...us on the airplane, ready to start our adventure!
i had to talk to Jesus a bit on those flights. ;)
ya wanna know something about me?
i always order tomato juice and pretzels on flights.
i love the combination.
i do not eat or drink either of those things at any other time.
i only like it on an airplane.
so after spending the morning in airports and flying, we arrived in miami around 12:30.
we were thrilled that both of our flights were ahead of schedule and our luggage made it perfectly....okay minus a wheel (sorry mom) but other than that. . .
we then loaded up on a bus to our cruise ship.
as soon as we got on board we went for the food. :)
that was one of my most looked forward to treats....endless food.
that's miami behind me....and an ice cream cone in hand. :)
oooh, oooh, hey there, hottie.
aj had the idea to get a room with a window...so glad he did.
we loved looking out our window every day.
this is the view from our window once we got moving.
we were expecting a much smaller room, so this was a fun surprise.
we did a lot of walking around and exploring the ship on that first afternoon and evening.
we also enjoyed an amazing dinner and a fun show.
it was a very long day but so, so fun!
and our trip was just beginning! Pin It
I love this! We have always wanted to go on a cruise. Looking forward to the updates. What a fun thing to do for your 10 year!
ReplyDeleteSeeing your room makes me re-think my hatred of cruises. This stems from our honeymoon, when we were 19 years old, and we found out our room was the size of a closet with two twin beds on OPPOSITE sides of the room from eachother. It was not the most romantic trip I've ever taken ;) I'm SO GLAD you guys had a better experience and that you got to do that for your tenth. We haven't really done anything since 2006, but we're trying to plan a trip for next winter because I have got to get out of this joint... just for a few days :) Welcome home!
ReplyDeleteI love cruises! My husband and I went on one for our honeymoon, but our room was a lot smaller. It wasn't too bad though, at least the beds pushed together!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are too cute!!! I love you both! I am so glad you got to do this.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear more about it. : )
This is a good start. :)

ReplyDeleteOur 5 year anniversary is coming up in June and we're planning a little something, but we definitely thought about a cruise! Oh they're dreamy! We went on one with my husband's family before we got married, it was a lot of fun and really relaxing! Since we didn't take a honeymoon after we got married and we're not really trip people, I am pushing more than I usually would for some type of trip. I think as parents, we need it, just a little break to enjoy each other and reconnect. It looks like we may head down from SW MO to Tulsa for a couple days. I'm excited, but your cruise looks AWESOME, congrats on your 10 year anniversary!!
ReplyDeleteBTW, that deleted comment was mine. I noticed a typo in my comment and had to fix it! Just one of my quirks : )
ReplyDeleteThat is *huge* for a cruise ship room!!!! And a balcony! How fun. Congrats on the anniversary and glad you had such an amazing time!! Bill and I have been talking about it, and we're like, "Hmmm...maybe this winter." :)
