Dan and I enjoyed a fabulous and much needed cruise on April 30 for 5 whole days without kids. We had an amazing time together and it was refreshing being a couple and acting like adults for 5 WHOLE DAYS. Our families stepped in and helped with the kids, which was incredible and much appreciated. Dan had never been on a cruise and my only experience was a Disney Cruise I took Hannah on when she was 6, so needless to say, we were excited and ready for fun and sun on the Carnival Destiny. We left from Miami and headed to Key West. We took part in a Pub Crawl in Key West and met a fun couple and enjoyed some great Pubs, very yummy cocktails and shopping. We took a few incriminating photos and had some BIG fun. I would take part in that again in a heartbeat! We then spent a day at Sea, had some great meals, some time on the decks in the sun, more yummy cocktails and played a little Blackjack. (Oh, and Dan took part in a very funny contest on the ship, but you need to ask him about that). It was off to Nassau Bahamas by default. The Swine Flu kept us from going to Cozumel. We were rerouted and it all worked out. We spent the day at Atlantis Resort. It was beautiful! We rode some great water rides and saw some amazing views. The Aquariums were incredible. After our Atlantis excursion was over, we took the shuttle bus back to Nassau and did some very brief shopping. Not a big fan of the streets of Nassau and I will leave it at that. Our last day at Sea was fun. I tried to drag Dan to a towel animal class (ha, ha), but at least we got to watch it for a bit. I talked him into buying me the book on how to make 60+ towel animals. He told me I will never use it and guess what? I haven't used it yet, but I will! :-) We enjoyed even more yummy meals and this delicious Chocolate Melting cake after just about every meal. That night ended with a show. A juggling guy who actually quite entertaining and a comedian who was a riot. I was ready to come home to see the kids, but not wanting to come back to Michigan for sure. We saw some beautiful places and if it wasn't for family here, we would move for sure. Maybe someday.....
For now, back to work to save up for the next trip and dream of where we could be living. Our picture album of this trip in on our Facebook! Good Night all!
