I'M BACK!!!!!

Hey everybody! I am back from my sail of the high seas. It was an adventure. But first I have to thank my girl Brick for blog-sitting for me. Thanks Girl!

Now on to business. I am home and tired. Who knew you could drive for 11 hours in the same state? Florida is too long in two directions. We drove to Miami from West Florida with our three kids. That was cool because they are so used to riding on long trips. But the drive home was rough. It rained for 270 miles of out trip! But that was the only low of our trip.

For spring break we took a short Western Caribbean cruise to Key West and Cozumel. We had a ball. We cruised Carnival and all slept in the same cabin. That's right, five people in one cabin, and an inside cabin at that. Whew! It was tight, but it was managed chaos! Kids had a ball in Camp Carnival and Circle C. We took a great excursion in Cozumel called, "Isla Pasion by Twister". This is where we took a speed boat out to a private beach and on the way the boat did 360's in the water. We were soaking wet and screaming our heads off! Way too much FUN!

Anyway, we love cruises because you get a lot for your money. Not to mention it is one place where you can meet people from all over the world. We loved our table mates, a beautiful Puerto Rican family that was so sweet and a perfect fit to our family. Not to mention they were devout Christians so there was no shinanigans at our table. The mom said she prayed to have good people at their table and the Lord answered her prayers. How sweet is that! Cruises are awesome, you see the beauty of all the different people and nationalities. We met a really neat couple from Canada that didn't know where Alabama was. I thought that was so neat because we didn't know exactly where Toronto was either! But I knew it was in Ontario! We asked them if they were considered African-Candians like we say African-American here in the states and she said yes. Who knew?

There was one down point but I won't mention the details here. It involved domestic violence, and it was a sad thing to witness. We were very glad to see security and passengers immediately step in and assist. As women we have got to get wise and make good healthy choices in regards to relationships.
