Weekend in Rewind: July 14

Last weekend, we celebrated the little guy’s 5th birthday. Sometimes I look at him and simply can’t belief how big he has gotten.  Where did the time go?  With that said, we have really enjoyed this age. It’s fun to see him grow and become his own person. I often laugh when he gets serious …

July 5

Fly me to the moon.  Let me play among the stars. Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars We arrived early in the morning at Port Caniveral. Mommy got up really early to watch them bring us back into dock. Really cool.  But hard to believe the cruise was over. After …

July 4

Fireworks at sea, yes please. These were actually not on the 4th but from Pirate Night. Unfortunately, the little guy tired so we watched from our verandah. Happy Birthday to my mom. We missed celebrating with her, but she was in our thoughts. We spent the day back at Castaway Cay. And this time, we …

July 3: Nassau

Today, we did the dolphin interaction. Really cool. Someone was a little scared initially, but after much coaxing eventually got in. These Dolphins  are so smart and well trained. The only mishap…our dolphin popped on the guy next to mommy. The instructor response, don’t worry these waters are filled with their poop.  Thats when mommy …

July 2: Castaway Cay

Overnight we headed to Disney’s private island in the Bahamas. I have to admit, I was worried the little guy may get seasick, but the tide was so smooth, you barely noticed (felt slightly at dinner and in bed). Someone had a favorite vantage point. After last night’s dinner, we headed to Deck 4, where …

July 1: Birthday Boy

Today, was a very special little boy’s 5th birthday.  And someone was super excited. We arrived around lunch time to check in for our cruise. The place was packed.  As soon as he saw Goofy, it became obvious how much he loved his birthday present. No fear here, ladies. He marched right up and proudly …

June 30: Magic Kingdom

This week, we headed to Disney for one day at Magic Kingdom and 5 days on the Disney Dream a Cruise. The little guy is becoming quiet the pro at airports. We worked our way through a long security line, which is definitely more complicated with tons of electronic gadgets and chargers. But we made …

Week in Rewind: June 26

Last Friday, Daddy ran the Media 5 Miler. He did great. It was a hot night, but he made the most of it.    The little guy and I enjoyed our night as well. This race has such a community feel about it. And when we saw Cecily Tynan, the local weatherman, I jumped at …

Week in Rewind: June 15

Tonight we head over to Media to watch daddy run. The little guy has been at this race every year since arriving. And it’s not hard to eventually seeing him running it. For now, mommy has to keep him entertained with plenty of food and observations…like “too short” shorts man. Or college kid in costum …

Week in Rewind: June 12

As parents, we couldn’t be more proud. The little guy officially graduated from pre-k last night. Sure, there are mixed emotions.  When we started four years ago, everything was new to the little guy: this country, culture, language, and family. But I think we knew he would be alright on that first day of daycare. …
