The Cruise --What a blast!

Well, we just returned yesterday from our 5-day cruise aboard the Carnival ship, Fasciniation. We had a wonderful time visiting Key West and Nassau, Bahamas, as well as taking advantage of the many activities on board the boat.

As many of you already know, the food aboard these ships promotes gluttony, and I wish I could say we all restrained ourselves from over eating, but alas, it was not meant to be. We ate, we ate well, and we ate often. The boys enjoyed the "fancy" dining opportunities, but they also took advantage of the ever-available pizza cafe and the 24-hour room service.

We did stay active, however. We took advantage of the fitness center on board, working out several times during the week. We also stayed active during the shore excursions. We did a parasailing trip in Key West and a catamaran/ snorkel adventure in Nassau.

The crew was great, the shows entertaining, and the music enjoyable. Everything was very good and we had a great time together. The one downside...five people in one stateroom. It was cramped, but we managed.

This was our last big hoo-hah together before I deploy this fall. It was a good time to be together and share the love that we have as a family.
