Ok, we have been for a week now, but getting back into the swing of things has been difficult for everyone in our household. Upon our arrival home, we had one sick Daddy, one sick Cooper, and two very soon to be sick Mom and Eli. It hit us with a bang and everyone is still hanging on to the crud that we brought home with us. Thankfully, it's just a virus - but that means we just have to let it run its course, which is what no one really wants.
With that said, we had an amazing trip to the Western Caribbean with family! The four of us flew into New Orleans on Saturday, November 29th. We met Grandma, Papa, Uncle Daryl, (soon-to-be) Aunt Genny, Great Aunt Darlene, Kenny and Karen, Terry and Carolyn, and Herb and Levonne. It was exciting to be welcomed by such a big group of family and friends.
We left Seattle in a little more than a dusting of *snow* and arrived to sun and the low 70s. Talk about a welcomed climate change!
Before we could board our plane, we had a bit of time to kill. We found a window where the boys could watch the planes coming and going. During our brief stay, we saw the UW, WSU, Oregon, MSU, and Russel 12 planes. They really enjoyed pointing them out.
Once it was time to go, they were very excited. Because we were in the row in front of the emergency exit, Cooper was not allowed to sit in his car seat. We weren't sure how that would go over, but he did great! We were lucky that Elfie, our Elf on the Shelf and North Pole visitor, brought Santa's gifts early because Santa knew we were going on a trip. We thought that was incredibly nice of him to help mom and dad out on a 5 hour flight in this way!
Thanks again Santa!!!
After dinner and some visiting, it was time to watch the annual Apple Cup. Unfortunately, the Cougs didn't pull through for these two little fans.
No worries, hotels are fun even when your team plays poorly.
After a good night's rest, it was time to pack up and head to the port to meet our ship, the Norwegian Dawn. November 30, 2014
Our cruising family:
Daryl, Terry, Carolyn, Dan, Genny, Kenny, Karen, Darlene, Herb, Levonne, Eli, Ruth, Jess, and Cooper.
I got to be in this one.
On board our home for a week.
