10th Anniversary trip take 2!


Remember this post? Scratch that... we just booked a cruise!! I have always been hesitant to go on a cruise because I love to travel and really see different places, not just hang out on a cruise and I get seasick! But I found this cruise that visits a different port everyday so it is less cruise like and more travel like. We can see 6 different countries and unpack our bags only once! We were going for an interior room but my parents upgraded us to a balcony room as our anniversary present - woo hoo!! I booked it last week myself. Talked to a AAA travel agent who was great but could not book trips on Carnival - no idea why and the other agent I talked to assured me that her price that was $400 above any price I had found was the cheapest I could get... uhh hello, do you know who you are talking to?? You KNOW I can find it cheaper:) So I got the exact room she found that was the 'cheapest' for $400 cheaper. I have also read that the cruises have a history of price drops and if there is one, I just call and the $ is taken off the final payment or in the form of on board credit! Woo hoo.. so now I have to stalk the Carnival Website everyday!! We were first thinking of going on Royal Caribbean but for the price difference, we picked Carnival b/c we will hardly be on the ship. I will talk more about the excursions later! We will get to San Juan 2 or 3 days early and stay there - I am excited! Here are the trip details - San Juan, St Thomas, Dominica, Barbados, St Lucia, St Kitts, St Maarten and back to San Juan!

Florence Freedom

Last night, we all went to the Florence Freedom (minor league baseball) game. Groupon had a deal for $10 you got seats, dinner, ticket to play in bounce houses, etc and $5 to spend in the gift shop or for food... we had a great time! Monkey bought a ball with his money and had the guys sign it! Sweet girl was a trooper and stayed up for the whole game - we didnt get home till 11 and for the first time ever, we were up before the kids! We even had to wake sweet girl up to go to monkey's swim lessons!
