So I've only just realized that my Day 1 recap was December 26th! #bloggerfail! We've been enjoying the final few days of Christmas Break. Grammy left early yesterday morning and we rounded out the night with a double sleepover. Non-verbal quote of the week: Me: "DH, twelve years ago did you think you’d be shopping… Continue reading MSC Seaside Naming Ceremony – Day 2

MSC Seaside Naming Ceremony – Day 1
Last week, the DH and I had the privilege of spending two nights on board the MSC Seaside for its Naming Ceremony and inaugural cruise. Fun!! We flew in the day before and spent a little time in South Beach, Miami. The vibe in South Beach is very sensual. The Art Deco buildings are very… Continue reading MSC Seaside Naming Ceremony – Day 1
Busch Gardens Thanksgiving – Day 3
Real talk... on the morning of Day 3, we were dragging a little bit. But a bit of good news was the adrenaline rush we needed. Remember when we checked into the hotel on Day 1 and they did not have a second stuff giraffe for Stinky? Well, I emailed (and called) Guest Relations on… Continue reading Busch Gardens Thanksgiving – Day 3
Busch Gardens Thanksgiving – Day 2
On Day 2 (Thanksgiving Day), we were ready to go! The forecast predicted an 80% chance of rain and thunderstorms the entire day, but we lucked out with just a few scattered showers. We also lucked out with a thin crowd, and again enjoyed walking on the popular rides. The park is equally as beautiful… Continue reading Busch Gardens Thanksgiving – Day 2
Busch Gardens Thanksgiving – Day 1
We're back from a wonderful family Thanksgiving at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay! Here's our Day 1 recap. Our plan was to head out as early as possible, but had a few minor setbacks.

I made arrangements for the dog, but completely forgot about the… Continue reading Busch Gardens Thanksgiving – Day 1

It is an annual weekend conference for travel agents to familiarize them with vacation packages Delta offers around the world. This year, it was held in Atlanta at the Georgia International Conference Center. I choose my courses based on market interest in… Continue reading Delta Vacations University
New York City August 2010
As I watched the 9/11 coverage on the news yesterday, it reminded me of a weekend trip the DH and I took to New York City in 2010; our first couple's trip since the kids were born. We'd both visited separately in our teens, but it was a refreshing perspective to see the Big Apple… Continue reading New York City August 2010

Life Lately and The Great American Solar Eclipse 2017
I can hardly believe how long its been since my last post. Time has just been flying by and any system of organization I had has been completely obliterated. So what's been going on? The kids went back to school in early August. How is it possible that I have a third and fourth grader… Continue reading Life Lately and The Great American Solar Eclipse 2017
