      Comments Off on Disney Marvel Cruise 2019 – Embarkation (Day One)

After a long day of work, school, travel prep, and travel to Miami yesterday, we were hoping to get a good night’s rest before boarding the five night Disney Magic Marvel Cruise. Unfortunately, just because you plan to sleep in or well doesn’t mean that it is actually going to happen. Both Hunter and Sawyer had stuffy noses leading up… Read more »

      Comments Off on Disney Marvel Cruise 2019 – The Lead Up

With the holidays behind us, we quickly turned the corner to Sawyer’s birthday in January. Emily, who never shies away from a good theme, had her heart set on Sail The SEVEN Seas with Sawyer for Sawyer’s birthday this year.

Festivals of Speed

      Comments Off on Festivals of Speed

It continues to amaze me as I watch the boys grow up, how they become interested in the things that they do.  Sometimes those interests reflect the things we like to do as a family like going to Disney or the beach, and sometimes I am not quite sure exactly where those passions come from.  Take, for instance, Hunter’s love… Read more »

The Arrival of Peach

      Comments Off on The Arrival of Peach

I would like to say that Peach was a well thought out and planned addition to our household, but that wouldn’t be telling it quite like it was.  To be fair, we had been talking about the possibility of getting a dog for several months, if not years, leading up to this point.  Emily had her heart set on getting… Read more »

Day One – Embarkation Day, Port Canaveral A day that I questioned would ever come was finally upon us.  For as long as we have been going on cruises as a family, I often thought that Emily’s parents would absolutely love the experience.  While Colonel was on board (pun intended), Grandma Kee, like myself, was a bit apprehensive about setting… Read more »

Waking up after a rain drenched prior day we had our fingers crossed for nice weather.  Southern California delivered, as it so often does.  With plans to head out to the Little Corona Del Mar Beach in the afternoon, we were up early to get some park time in.  Emily was dead set on us all getting up before 7… Read more »
