Cruise

One thing that is awesome about working at Headstart is that I have a week-long Spring Break.  Several months ago, before we were planning on buying a house, Erik and I planned to go on a cruise.  After a long night of flying, we were so excited to get to the Florida sunshine!
Here are some of the highlights of our trip:
  • The sunshine.  Erik was smarter than me and wore sunscreen everyday.  We've been home almost two weeks and I'm still peeling, but it was well worth it.  I loved laying on the deck reading my kindle and playing on the beach.
Look at that hunk on the beach



  • Ummm....the food.  One night Erik ate 4 lobster tails.  I had multiple desserts every night.  Food was everywhere and delicious and someone else cooked and cleaned up after.  amazing.
  • We did a lot of fun stuff on the cruise ship.  We went to shows and watched karaoke and even went to a towel-animal folding class.  We can make elephants, manta-rays, and dogs, but got in over our heads when it came to frogs.  



  • We didn't have cell service or internet.  While I missed my blogs and my hulu, it felt nice just to have all that undistracted time with Erik.
  • The Bahamas are amazing.  There was one incident where I was pretty sure we were going to get mugged in a taxi, but other than that the stops were so much fun.  The weather was beautiful, the beaches were great, and we had a great time exploring. 
  • Erik took this picture.  Isn't it awesome?
Real life is a bit of an adjustment after a cruise.  I keep waiting for someone to make my bed while I'm gone, or maybe offer me 8 different entrees for dinner.  On an unrelated note, we move into our new house a week from tomorrow, so start planning your trip to come see us!
