Tell me this doesn't look like the face of a kid who is truly enjoying the new cruising lifestyle! Fresh off the boat from Riley's first cruise on Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas, we have a whole slew of awesome memories and pictures that will be shared when Riley is old enough to actually remember.
We had an awesome week of warm weather, fantastic destinations and fabulous family time that was made possible because we are part of the best family ever! With stops in St. Maarten, St. Kitts, San Juan and Labadee, we had plenty of fun in the sun, warm sand between our toes and delicious meals.
Don't get me wrong - there are definitely some challenges when cruising with a 2-year old, but with so many hands on deck, we were all able to enjoy ourselves to the fullest extent. Thank goodness for a play room, movies on the big screen, all you can eat ice cream and pizza and a family who is willing to step in.
And with a few extra days to relax in Ft. Lauderdale after the cruise, we soaked in the last warmth of the season and prepared to come back home and brave the winter months.
This is a family vacation that I know we were all looking forward to and one that we will remember for the rest of our lives. It was a long time coming but I am so glad that we were all able to carve time out of our schedules to spend Thanksgiving together.
And now that we are all back home, it's time to unpack, relax and look forward to the next family vacation (which will hopefully come sooner rather than later)!

That's awesome. We loved being with everyone, too! So much fun. We also believe we are part of the best family ever! Thanks to those who were born into it and to those who joined on their own. It was great having everyone together, sharing in good times!
Love,
Mommy, Mom, BiBi
Glad to be a part of the vacation. We loved it too...could you tell?
