In case you haven’t noticed, I eat out a lot. So when a new place opens up I am all over it. I love trying new restaurants. I love looking at a menu that I have never seen before and trying to decide what I want. Some restaurants I visit so often, I don’t even […]
Riding Horses in the Ocean
There are things in life that seem really exciting. Things that don’t present themselves on a regular basis. Things that when I get the opportunity to do, I most likely will, because I might not get the opportunity again. Horseback riding in the ocean was one of those things. I had seen pictures that had […]
Heaven on Seven
My husband and I used to live in Louisiana. In fact, that is where our second child was born. We loved it! Not only for the fun and crazy people, but for the amazing food. They do it right down in Cajun country. Needless to say, there is no place else like it. So we […]
Caribbean Cruise: Half Moon Cay, Bahamas
We’ve made it to the final stop on our Caribbean Cruise: Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas. It is a private island only used by certain cruise lines. And it is BEAUTIFUL! There are no sights to see, towns to visit, or history to learn about. You are there to relax, eat and maybe […]
Holland America’s Orchids
I have an odd relationship with flowers. I think they are beautiful and I love to look at them, yet I don’t have any in my house. I am not a green thumb kind of girl at all! I also don’t really like my husband to buy me flowers…not sure why. I think it’s because […]
What I ate for Easter Brunch
Easter for me means going to church, Easter egg hunts & baskets, and sharing a fabulous meal with family. Usually this includes lots of extended family because we make the trip south to be with everyone. Unfortunately, we just live too far away to do a weekend trip anymore. This year we decided to try […]
Chillin’ in St. Maarten
As we arrived in St. Maarten and found out our excursion had been cancelled, we sat on the balcony for a moment to decide what we were going to do instead. This ship below caught my eye and I started noticing that most of the passengers were older. Turns out it was a cruise around […]
Caribbean Cruise: Philipsburg, St. Maarten
Remember that post on St. Thomas, USVI about how plans can change and you have to make the most of it? WELL, our excursion for Philipsburg was cancelled as well. Literally minutes before we were walking out the door, they called and cancelled due to high winds. I was super excited about this excursion too. […]
Caribbean Sunsets
As the week comes to an end and everyone gets ready to enjoy their weekend, I am thinking about the end of each day on our cruise. As the sun would set over the ocean the colors would just capture your gaze. We were blessed with a balcony and a good bottle of wine at […]
Caribbean Cruise: Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S.V.I
This is one of the best reasons for having a room with a balcony! As you approach each island, you have an amazing private viewing area. Welcome to Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands If you travel a lot, one thing you know for sure, is that plans can change. Even though we had […]
Towels: Not just for drying off
What is it about towels shaped into things that makes us happy? I know there are you bah humbugs out there who probably toss them right off the bed, but many of you are like me, and seeing a little towel animal waiting for you brings a smile to your face. I think it […]
Enormous Dessert Buffet…nuff said!
One night on our Caribbean Cruise there was an enormous dessert buffet. It took up the entire atrium area on all three floors. Yes, you heard right, a three story dessert buffet! What I find so interesting, besides the huge amount of desserts, are the sculptures that they have created out of sugar, bread, […]
