Cruise Repeat

Well, here we are again, doing the same cruise we did two years ago.  We figured people do Disneyland over and over and over again and have a great time.... I am sure we will have an amazing time doing this cruise again.  And boy were we right.  

The timing was perfect!!  It was right during the kids spring break, so they didn't miss any school.  The ship leaves from Long Beach, so just a short 6 hour drive... meaning we didn't have the expense of having to book flights.

And you just can't beat the value of the price and everything you get that comes with it.  We also love that it is the perfect mix of family time and (thanks to the kids camp) alone Me and Matt time!!! And the best part.....NO CELL PHONE!!!!!   (screen shot of Matt's phone....happy dance!!!)

Oh and also Matt and I would be celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary while we were on the cruise.  Anyways, we left on the 8th of March and enjoyed getting acquainted with our cruise ship (different boat then we had been on before).  So much to see and do!!!!
Here is a video of the kids "Rockin' OUT"

In one of the main atriums they had this glass stair case leading up to one of the dinning rooms.  It is lifted above 8 floors!!! Crazy COOL!!!!
 
 Here is the video of the glass stair case, it is pretty wild!!!

Here we are on the Lido Deck (level 9) where all of the buffets are.  It is so fun to sit and eat and eat and eat all whilst enjoying the amazing view like this.



And of course every night we made our way to the Dinning Room for dinner.  The kids LOVED this part, especially Cody.  He would always try the Didja Menu (as in, did you ever want to try....)  And loved things like Escargot, Shark, Alligator, Frog Legs, Sushi Platter, Shrimp, etc.  Coming from a boy that comes in from playing outside and says....What is that horrid smell???  As I reply....that is your dinner!!  Eating strange food or pretty much any food besides mac and cheese and cheese nips is pretty unheard of for him.   Elena found a love for the cold soups, like the strawberry bisque and stayed true to her red jello with whip cream.  Oh how I love not having to cook or clean or do anything really, just enjoy the loves of my life!!!
