Cruising Together

Heather and I had time to take a little vacation this past spring, knowing that once Bobby joined us, we wouldn't really have much time for that. We spent five days plus a little on board the "Celebration", and spent a day each in Key West and Nassau, Bahamas. It was great, and very relaxing. Most of our time was spent just laying in the sun reading. I didn't set foot in a pool, and only went into the water in Key West for about 2 minutes.

Nothing quite like the taste of key lime pie blended with a hand rolled cigar. Strolling around Key West with the hottest woman on the island on my arm, frozen key lime pie on a stick in one hand, and a cigar hanging out of my mouth, it was evident to all who saw me that I owned the place. I felt like Al Capone. In board shorts.



Heather was pretty far along in her pregnancy during this vacation. So, if you have visions in your head of every cruise passenger rock climbing and horseback-riding on the beach by day, then drinking themselves senseless by night, please remove us from your visions. We found the cruise to be very enjoyable, and we didn't lose our life savings in the casino ($70 in 15 minutes was enough). We found plenty of time to snorkel and walk around the ports of call when we weren't sleeping in the sun. Besides, who would pay to drink themselves into oblivion when you can eat yourself there for free? By the way, we waited for everyone else to get 3 or 4 drinks into them before we hit the karaoke bar. And when we did, we were the greatest act that boat had ever seen.
