Back Home

  I'm back!!! What a week it's been! Vacation is the way to live my friends. Another March break...another cruise. But I must admit I do suffer when I come home with a few days of ship motion that leaves me a little off. C'est la vie.

  I won't bore you with ALL the details...just a few. First off I love, love, LOVE NYC. The noise, people and scenery makes me feel energized. Chinatown is a must see if you go. Peek into a food market and you will see food you never thought possible. People are bartering over the basics. Fun to watch even if you don't understand the language.

  We are a family that loves a cruise. Everyone gets their own vacation. Riley spent a lot of time at the kids club. He is a social butterfly so he is in his element there. Alex, being that weird 12 almost 13, wanted nothing to do with it. However, he loved having the freedom to wander around on his own. I think he spent most of his time at the buffet but I have no proof.

  John and I are happy to be in the warmth doing nothing. We spent a lot of time watching Alex swim and getting some sun. There is lots to do on a ship that big including a comedy club, lots of live music and of course the casino. Over all it was a blast. 

 Reality has now set in. John has gone to work. The boys are off to school. The suitcases need to be unpacked and the laundry taken downstairs. I need to buy some groceries and put away the few things we bought...more on those things later. 

  But first...an "after vacation nap"!
