Happiest Cruise on Earth






15 people, 7 cabins, 5 days, 1 Disney Dream. This was the first time I have ever experienced acruise and hopefully it will not be the last. My family, plus my grandma and my aunt and uncle and cousin all were apart of this amazing adventure. The cruise went to Disney's private island Castaway Cay, then to Nassau in the Bahamas then back to Castaway Cay. It was probably the best week of my year. I loved being next to the ocean constantly it gave me such a peaceful happy feeling. Here are the highlights from the cruise:

Color of the cruise: Yellow. Before the cruise I purchased 2 new pair of shoes, both yellow, and I wore both apair many times, with yellow shirts. I enjoyed looking like summer when the weather was so nice out.

Word of the cruise: Multumesc. This means "thank you" in Romanian. Our waiter at dinner was from Romanian and taught it to me so I continued to use it all week whenever he brought me food. He would even anser in Romanian, it was like our own private conversation because no one else knew what we were saying.

Food of the cruise: Mangos, Pineapple, ice cream, and escargot. There were fresh mangos on Castaway Cay that were so delicious. My taste buds will never feel so good again. Also there was fresh pineapple, and I ate pineapple on the boat whenever we were at a buffet. There were self-serve soft ice cream machines on the boat and on the island, so whenever we got too hot we went and ate ice cream. It was marvelous to have that much ice cream under my control. I also tried for the first time in my life escargot. It tasted like thick noodles soaked in garlic. Quite interesting.

Course of the cruise: Dessert. I loved eating dessert and got really excited when it was dessert time. The waiter even gave me 2 dessert menus once, and on the last night he gave me 6! I loved eating dessert.

Most valuable crew member: This is a tie between Pierre Luc and Mircea. Pierre Luc was on the cruise staff and was in charge of a many family activities such as the 5K run (which I ran AND finished) and different trivia games. Mircea was our waiter at dinner, he was fun to talk to and always made me laugh.

song of the cruise: (insert any and every Disney song) Disney music was constantly playing in the hallways, I was always surrounded by the sound of Disney.

All in all the Disney Cruise was fabulous and I wish I could live on the ship for the rest of my life. I love Disney Magic!!

Sand,Strawberries and SUP's

Well, we've barely been in California a week and we decided to take a trip! We drove down to Nipomo California and spent the weekend with the California Murrays.  We had an action packed weekend and really enjoyed seeing the ocean and soaking in some vitamin D.  On Saturday we went paddle boarding with my Aunt and Uncle. We had an adventurous paddle that was basically like a going through an aquarium. We passed sea otters floating together and we also saw Sea Lions chillin on the boat docks barking loudly. We paddled all the way to a cute little lighthouse and enjoyed walking around and taking in the view. My favorite part was a giant swing that overlooked the ocean. While swinging you felt like you were flying over the ocean, I did not want to get off. Saturday afternoon we went to the Strawberry Festival, a local event the city has once a year. There were lots of strawberries (which are basically straight from the field) and lots of booths with crafts from local artists. W

Forgetting about New Year's Resolutions and other New Year thoughts

Image
I feel that this last week I've seen so many posts on social media about what goals people are setting as New Year's resolutions, and what they want to do to change their lives for the better. Two things crossed my mind when I scrolled through these posts. Number one, why does it take a new year for people to make goals? I guess I understand new beginnings and starting over, but if there is something that you want to change in your life, why do we have to wait for a new year or a new month? Why can't we just make the change daily? I'm sure there are some people who do try to set new goals throughout the year, I just wish it was more of a thing. We don't need to wait to change our habits, we just need the motivation and grit to make the changes daily, weekly or monthly. My second thought was, "wow I have been so preoccupied about having a baby that I haven't even thought of any goals or new years resolutions that I want to make." (really in my mind t

when breakfast becomes fish food

Can we just take a step back and realize how fast the summer is flying by? We've already been out here for five weeks! Next week we will be reaching our halfway point, that seems oh so crazy. Our California Adventure just keeps getting better each week. This week Los Altos was hit by a heat wave and we both almost boiled to death. Brennan had a fun week at work with conferences and outings while I was left to fry at my own job. Over the weekend we snuck to Monterey again and had another splendid Saturday! First, let's talk about Brennan's amazing week. He had a three-day conference at his work, with lots of meetings and breakout sessions and then fun party stuff. His work gave him breakfast every day and then in the evening he went out to dinner with his co-workers and then they also did finance team bonding activities. One night for their dinner they went to a restaurant/bar and Brennan had his first experience of watching everyone around him drink alcohol and practice
