Our Disney Vacation!


So we headed to Florida on December 3rd to go on a Disney Cruise with the Davis family. We embarked on our ship on Thursday the 4th. We watched exciting live shows and had wonderful meals. Nassau, Bahamas was our first stop on Friday. It was an experience! My girls got their hair braided by some local women and we played on the beach and in the crystal blue water. It opened our eyes to another country. At the end of the afternoon, we headed back to the ship and had dinner and watched another live show. I was so impressed by the talent of the actors. They could all sing so well. The weather was perfect and the sailing was mostly smooth. We could feel the ship move a little, but it wasn't too bad. No serious sea sickness. On Saturday, we were on Disney's private island, Castaway Cay. It was the highlight of the cruise. It was so beautiful and warm! The kids enjoyed playing in the water and we all enjoyed the sun. We ended our cruise early Sunday morning and some of us headed for Disney World. We hit Animal Kingdom and Epcot that day, then on Monday we went to MGM Studios and Magic Kingdom. It was alot of fun but very busy! It was the busiest we have ever experienced it. January and February are better months to go to Disney World. We rode most of our favorite rides and then headed home on Tuesday. It was a long day of travel due to delays and weather, but we made it and look back at our vacation with great memories. Thank you to Greg's parents for being so generous. We look forward to going on another cruise someday. We would definately go for a 5 or 7 night cruise rather than a 3-night cruise. We needed more time! But, we will have to see what happens with the economy, and hope for the best... Merry Christmas to everyone!
