Cruise Memories 2015

Last week was a dream. My people and I...plus one Danish boyfriend...spent the week together on the most beautiful cruise ship sailing through some of the most amazing places on earth. There was fun and food and sun and sunscreen. There were naps and milkshakes and late nights and comedy clubs. There was nightly turn down service and walks on the deck and fabulous dinners and movies by the pool. And we were together. For seven glorious days and nights, we were together. Here are waaaay too many pictures to show you more. : )


My girl and I...a quick selfie before we boarded!


And a little lady who was so happy to find a surprise waiting for her on her bed. : )


This was the view...


from wherever you looked.


Perhaps my favorite photo of my Peyton ever. : )


There were stops at beautiful islands with crystal clear water...
















And days spent on the ship...







(There's an ocean outside my window!)


There was dancing at dinner...


and really fun times too...










There was this adorable cabana right on the beach...which was later stocked with fresh fruit and veggies and chips with fresh salsa...and it was a few steps away from...


this. : )


Nights on the ship were spent like this...


or at The Comedy Club where we waited for the show to start by taking selfies...






and by drinking these. : )


We ate ice cream BEFORE dinner...


and watched movies by the pool.


We enjoyed breakfast with The Cat In The Hat...


















and she ate Green Eggs and Ham, of course!




We made amazing friends...







and came home with memories in our hearts that will last a lifetime.


Family vacations are moments in time where life stands still, and we savor each and every moment.

  9. Oh what a picture perfect trip!! I felt a bit like I got to join you for a minute through all of your fun photos! Those are the kind of precious magic moments you bottle up and put them in your pocket and can pull them out later when your soul needs a little refill.

    Glad you're back safe and sound, but mostly happy you went on such a lovely journey and enjoyed such quality family time. xoxo
