Spring Break Cruise 2011

Each year for our Christmas gift from my parents we take a trip.  This year we decided on a cruise.  Royal Carribean- Liberty of the Seas.  And for the first time we had to go during spring break so the kids wouldn't miss school.

It was the BEST!  We went down to Florida a few days before the cruise to spend some time with Grandma & Grandpa (they live in the Everglades for 4 months during the winter).

Six days spent on the boat and we stopped in Belize, Costa Maya and Cozumel.  Our favorite things were the beach, the characters on the ship (it was a Pixar films featured ship- so Shrek & Madagascar characters were on the ship with us!), the food, games on the ship, waiters, room service, not lifting a finger for a whole week and the sun!  It was a perfect week!

We love airplanes.



 Billie's Swamp (Everglades).  They re-captured this croc while we were there!  It escaped 8 years ago!

Airboat ride.


 Our Swamp buggy.

Grandma LOVES games.  We had a fun time playing UNO attack.  Parker was the funniest loser ever!

Our family.  Blessed to spend some quality time together.

Waiting to get on the ship!

Walking the plank!

Our boat was spectacular!

Bye Bye Miami!

Life doesn't get much better.

Instead of watching the character show Jackson & Daddy were watching a heli circling the ship leaving Miami.

Fancy dinner every night!  The kids got used to ordering a five course meal!

Jackson suited up to rock climb

Parker or Addi snapped this shot!



Yea!!

LOVED the towel characters!


Belize.  Perfection.


Puss.

Character breakfast= chocolate on everything!





Our ship is the HUGE one!

Our transportation around Costa Maya.



Costa Maya= fish tacos on the beach.  A-MAZING!

I've said it already before but looks like you guys really had the best family vacation from beginning to end!! I bet it was hard to come home to to regular dining after eating 5 course meals every night!!! Looks like the 1st family cruise was a MUST re-do!!
