Back to Life; Back to Reality
Hello Readers! Well, I’m back. And it’s COLD. And RAINY. And WINDY. And WET.
Actually, it’s pretty much the polar opposite of the weather I’ve been enjoying for the past week. Sigh.
However, I’m happy to be home. I’m happy to sleep in my own bed, enjoy the comfort of my pjs and fuzzy robe, and most of all – eat plain old Cheerios for breakfast. I need a break from indulgent food! Yup, it’s salads and toast for me for the next, I don’t know, month or so :)
Although I will be catching up today (Anyone want to tackle my inbox? Anyone?) I thought I’d just pop in and say hello! I’ll be back at it tomorrow, with – you guessed it - tons of stories about our cruise and the awesome memories we made.
In the meantime, I’d love to leave you with a few pictures from the Allure of the Seas Carousel. It’s located on the Deck 6 Boardwalk, where they’ve recreated the best of Coney Island in the middle of the Caribbean Sea. The photos are taken at night, and that’s only relevant because the boys made us take them to the carousel EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT.
(Or, as Ryder called it, the Merry-Grow-On.)
Enjoy your week!
A carousel on a ship – what will they think of next? Looks like the boys had a great time. Very cute.
Indeed! The boys both lit up with excitement when they saw it. Hubby and I knew it was there, of course, since we viewed the brochures beforehand, but we let them be surprised ;)
Cant wait to hear all about the cruise and see your pics!
Thanks Lisa! Lots of photos to sort through, but you can definitely bet they’re coming!
Nice to see you back!
Thank you Margaret!
So adorable! Welcome home, my kids love the merry grow on too!
Hahaha I think ALL kids love the “Merry-Grow-On”!
Look forward to reading all about it – welcome back :)
Thank you Kat!
Love it! Can’t wait to hear all about it. I was following your twitter feed and it sounded like the kids had a ball.
They did! Thanks for following along!
Wow that looks awesome. Can’t wait to hear about your trip.
Thanks Jennifer! Updates coming up ;)
You have the cutest kids ever. Reid (that’s the little one, right?) has such a sweet baby face! Love it!
Yes, that’s my sweet little guy! Thank you!
Welcome home, Lena!
Looking forward to reading about your trip and seeing more photos! The ones of your boys on the ‘merry-go-on’ are adorable :-)
Thank you so much Soozle :) It’s good to be home, though almost two weeks later, I’m still in catch up mode!
Love cruises, they are great for the whole family. Looks like you had a great time!
We had a wonderful time, Deb – thanks so much!
Looks amazing. I’ve never been on a cruise but it is on my list of ‘to dos’.
The Allure of the Seas was my very first cruise, and now I can officially say, I understand why they’re so awesome.
Oh my goodness!! I can’t believe all of that is on a ship!
Tell me about it :) Wait until you see my wrap-up posts!
Can’t wait to hear about your trip and welcome home! I wish the weather gave you a warmer welcome!
Thanks so much Victoria! Alas, we’re Canadian – so we were prepared for the cold when we returned. Still sucks, though
Hope you enjoyed your cruise.
Looks like you had a great timee!
Thanks so much, Shirley and Natasha!

Welcome home! Can’t wait to hear all about it! I’ve never been on a cruise but it’s definitely on my bucket list!
Thank you Nicole! Push it to the top of the list – you won’t regret it!
