Back from the cruise!







Wow! That pretty much sums it up! The vacation was fantastic! Richard and I had so much fun. We went with our friends Jeff and Amy to Disney World and then on the Mariner of the Seas with Royal Carribbean. Our ports were Labadee, Haiti; Ocho Rios, Jamaica; Grand Cayman; and Cozumel, Mexico! Not only was our cruise fantastic, we were able to do so much off the boat. We went parasailing in Haiti, tubing down the White River in Jamaica; rode wave runners to Stingray City in Grand Cayman and a whole lot of shopping in Mexico! We dressed up some nights for dinner and went very casual for others. It was perfect for every mood. We both caught a little too much sun up on the pool deck but had a great time doing it. There was so much to do on this cruise ship that we did not have time to see and do everything on this massive boat! We did find our way to the casino! Richard met some of the coolest guys playing poker. A couple of the dealers told me that it was the best crowd playing poker that they have ever seen. I learned how to play Craps! I wanted to learn how to play the game that everyone cheers at. I sure did learn why they cheer. It is a fun game. Hopefully we will keep in touch with everyone we met! After we got off the ship, we went to Kennedy Space Ceter. It was so amazing and interesting! The coolest thing is that The Discovery is on the launch pad for blast off on May 31st. Not very often you get to see the ship on the launch pad. It was so cool! The hardest part of the vacation was missing Aerial and Camden so much! There were so many things we did that we thought Aerial would just love. I was so excited to get off the plane so I could run and hug Camden. It felt like an eternity that we were away from him. It was really cute seeing him in the Airport with my family. They took the time to make a cute sign for me (as it was mother's day) and Camden stood at the end of security holding it for me. According to my mom and dad, everyone was walking by ooing at how cute he is. I'm sure we'll be planning our family vacation before too long. It was too much fun not to do again! Richard and I had a wonderful time, but it also feels good to be back and get back into our normal routine!

So we are getting ready to go on our vacation! Our Wicked tickets fell through, so no Oz for me this trip. Luckily it's coming to Utah next year, so I can wait! Richard has never been on a cruise before, so this should be fun! I am really excited for me and Richard to get some time together but I sure am going to miss Aerial and Camden! I think Camden is going to have so much fun at my brothers house though. Manon loves him SO MUCH and loves to play with him. I know he is going to have a great time!
