Bon Voyage!!

Whew!!! Summer seems to be flying right by!! We celebrated our wedding anniversary this year by cruising aboard the Royal Caribbean Enchantment of the Seas. Now if you know us or follow Le Blog lol!! Then you know we only sail with Disney and.... with our children, but this time it was just me and my honey❤️ It's the first time we have ever left for a Vaca without children in over 20 years!?!?!?! Wow!! Can that be right?? YEPPERS!! So we swore we wouldn't compare cruise lines but alas... It happens lol. It's not the Disney Dream but it isn't meant to be, for us it was perfection!! The beverage package that my honey surprised me with included all the Starbucks I could drink!!! Well say no more!!! Starbucks onboard!! YESSSSS!!! (Hint hint Disney lol!!) The shopping, shows, dinners, pools, etc. were wonderful!! But we had to check on the children's activities (you know in case we might want to come back.... ASAP please!!) alas they didn't even come close to Disney. So when we sail with the family we will remain Disney loyalists, but when it's just the two of us, the possibilities are endless!!! So without further adieu here is the pictorial of our Anniversary cruise.

Just arrived onboard

First things first I need my Skinny upside down caramel macchiato ( sorry for the bad pic)

Any dining room paying homage to Audrey Hepburn via My Fair Lady is a winner!!!

Cocktails!!

70's party!!!

YMCA complete with the Captain and The Village People!!!

Strolling on the gorgeous decks

Upon getting back to our private veranda stateroom we found it enchanted by "candle" light and champagne on ice waiting for us!! Swoon!!!!

Waking up to Atlantis never gets old!!

Shopping in Nassau

And Straw market

It was hot, hot, hot!! Lol!! So we opted to cool down at Sharkeys

The parade of flags representing all the different nations we currently had onboard, it was beautiful!!

Formal night called for my Calvin Klein black Gown for the My Fair Lady dining room.

Look at this floor!!! It was amazing!!!! Soo magical!!! And my Valentino Rockstuds aren't bad either!! Lol

More champs waiting for us!! The Valentino Rockstuds look amazing but even with dream inserts they still hurt!! Lol so off they came!

Sailing away from Nassau, sipping champs on our verandah by the moonlight with my love

Waking up to a private island escape in the Bahamas!!!

If you like piña coladas .....

So much to do so little time!! Needless to say I disembarked with one last Starbucks in hand!!! So until next time!! TTYL❤️

A Day In the Life

I get asked a lot if we are always on vacation, unfortunately no :( so to answer the question as to what a regular day of ours is like here you go!! A typical day in our lives starts out hoppin' in the car, finding good riding tunes... Check!!

And we're off!!

First stop Starbucks (we're gonna need the caffeine!!) Caramel/Mocha Frappucinos all around!! (Oh, that's an elephant hand sanitizer cover from Bath & Body Works~It's to cheeky!!)

Next stop Children's Science Emporium

Learning about the science of Hot Air Balloons

Teamwork!!

Under sea exploration

Playground at Sugar Sands Park!!

This playground is truly amazing!!!

Always enjoy a ride on the carousel (fun fact -the difference between a carousel and a merry go round is the lights, if they are white it's a carousel if they are colored it's a merry go round)

Cub scouts -Pinewood Derby time!!
