Girls cruise

Day 1 and 2.  Getting ready to go on a trip like this takes a lot of work. With my mother in law ill and  Grandpa unable to watch the kids it took a lot of planning to make the trip happen.  At times, I’ll admit it didn’t seem worth all the effort but the minute I was alone at the airport I already knew it was.

Flying alone seems easy.  Luggage for one person is so much more manageable. Here we are getting ready to leave. The weather was beautiful!

After we were off to sea we got dressed for dinner. The sunset that night was amazing.

The next morning we woke up and scouted out our perfect spot.  It was at the back of the ship and was designated “adults' only”.  The weather was amazing. We brought plenty of magazines and books so we were all set for a day of sunshine and relaxation.

One of the things I love about cruises is “sea days'”. I love the relaxed schedule. The good food. It’s just perfect! 

 

It was formal night at dinner so we got all dressed up to enjoy the food and fun.

My Dad came along to keep my Mom company because my mother in law could not join us.

That looks so fun and relaxing. It is too bad your MIL couldn't go, but that is great that your dad joined in on the fun.
