Today was the most relaxing day of our trip (and unfortunately, our last day in the islands)! We anchored off shore of Great Stirrup Cay, the cruise line’s own private island, and tendered to shore. The water was so clear and the day was beautiful (sunny with a slight breeze)! We explored the island, found […]
Today was a great day! We woke up and after our exercising (my walking around and taking pictures and Angela’s running) we ate breakfast and left the ship to explore Nassau! What an interesting city! We took a self-guided walking tour of the city and it was very interesting. We are very lucky that we
When we woke up this morning, we got dressed and went for a walk/run on the boat’s outdoor track. Naturally, I walked and Angela ran! 🙂 While walking, I took a bunch of pictures of the sunrise, the port, and the ship. It was very nice to go outside and smell fresh sea air, not
Today we slept in, got up slowly, had a quick Burger King breakfast (I know, it doesn’t sound very good, but that’s the only open place close to us that wouldn’t cost an arm and a leg to eat at). We then packed our luggage and took a short cab ride to the Port of
Today we started our cruise vacation! We flew out early to Miami and what a nice feeling when we got there! It was a little rainy, but cleared up shortly thereafter. Last week, it was in the 30’s there (totally abnormal for the area). Today… It was in the 70’s and warm! We were so
Today we picked up Angela’s Mom and Dad at the airport for their 2-week visit! The kids were so excited to have them come and spend time with us. When they came in the front door, they were pretty much mauled by 3 excited granddaughters and 2 excited grandsons! Although we saw them back in
Well, winter’s here! Over the last few days, it’s been in the teens and been snowing. Right now, we have over a foot of snow on the ground but the drifts and piles from shoveling are topping our mailbox! We are shoveling our driveway at least 3 times a day. Fortunately the snow stopped this
Happy New Year all! It’s hard to believe that it’s already been a year! 2009 went fast! It was full of wonderful activities and it seems like they were yesterday! We spent New Years Eve Day and Evening playing! The whole family and Grandma and Grandpa Halliday went down to the Field Museum of Natural
Today, Angela and I took the entire day and went out on an extended date! We had a TON of fun, and it was nice to be together and not have to worry about the kids. Grandma and Grandpa took great care of them all day. We started off the day on a great note
Today was sunny and a little warmer, so we decided to all go out and go sledding on a nearby midwest (nothing like Utah) hill. Zachary got a tube and Ben got a sled for Christmas and couldn’t wait to go out and use them! 🙂 We bundled up and drove over to the sledding
Today was a very interesting day! Zachary, Grandpa, and I drove up to Elburn, IL on a little “guy’s activity” and checked out a small train car manufacturing business named Accurail. Grandpa Halliday is VERY into model railroading, and this place is where he orders most of his model train cars. One of the guys
Today it was snowing when we woke up (a far cry from the rain of yesterday and the day before). It continued to snow all day non-stop! We ended up shoveling the driveway and sidewalks (and those of our neighbors) 3 different times! In all, we got about 8 inches of snow. The first time
