Sail Away

Three of us got a Christmas surprise that manifested on Spring Break. Looking back over our time together, surprises are definitely a love language for Tony. I am so glad to be the recipient of all of his surprises over the years. Now our surprises are trifold as there are three of us to enjoy them. 

Our Caribbean cruise couldn't have been better. We loved seeing Cam and Maeve marvel at the huge ship and all the many surprises it held. As we entered our stateroom for the first time, Maeve's reaction was, "It has no kitchen. Where is the kitchen?" We were a little concerned that the sofa wasn't a sofa bed. We were picturing one child on that tiny couch and one jammed in the bed with us for the whole week. Then our stateroom attendant came by, we asked him about getting pillow and sheets for the children. He said, "No. No. Do not worry. There are bunks. I will pull them down from the sky at night and have them ready for you!" Those bunks were likely one of the highlights for our kiddos. They loved climbing up each night and sleeping in the ocean. 

Our two days of adventures off the ship were memorable. The bike tour we were to take around Grand Cayman was a fiasco thanks to a certain six year old who did not approve of the tandem bike situation. However, our day at Cozumel made up for it. We opted for something a little more all of our speed- beach resort!
