Most of our time was spent on the water slides, can you tell? One major bummer is the big slides weren’t working for the first four days (half) of our trip. Since school was back in session, there weren’t many kids on board so it didn’t seem to be a huge priority to get itContinue reading “boatcation: on the boatgram edition”

boatcation: off the boatgram edition
What we did on each stop: Grand Turk: There was a beach and Margaritaville pool right off the pier, rather than taking a taxi to a more private beach we figured we’d go with what was there. The girls were able to witness a beer belly competition. So, that was fun to explain. (Free, asideContinue reading “boatcation: off the boatgram edition”
boatcation: puerto ricogram edition
Nothing wraps up climbing a bazillion 300-year-old stairs like buying pastries from the back of a truck on a street corner. Old San Juan? We dig you. (Pictured: Old San Juan, Castillo San Felipe Del Morro and Santa Maria Magdelena de Pazzis Cemetery)
meeting mr. cleveland
When we told Vivi we were going to Cleveland for the weekend she asked if he was nice and if he had toys at his house. She’s still wondering who Mr. Cleveland is, and she was a little disappointed she never got to see his house — but all in all she was pretty pleasedContinue reading “meeting mr. cleveland”

cruising, wiping out and NASCAR
I wonder if Cody will remember as much about our vacation last week as I remember about our cruise back in November, which isn’t much. While I remember everything overall (the gorgeous dining room, the shopping mall in the middle of the ship, a few of the shows and how big and bright our roomContinue reading “cruising, wiping out and NASCAR”
butterfly farms and and too much filet

But the most degree of tip any regular passenger can handle without ralphing over the edge is about 4 or 5 degrees. I am full of so much random cruise ship knowledge I barely evenContinue reading “butterfly farms and and too much filet”
of biscuits and birds
After this past weekend in South Carolina, I wouldn’t be surprised if I eventually become MooshInCharleston.com. It should also be mentioned that if I did move to Charleston I would also become very unhealthy because biscuits at every meal. My dryer seemed to have worked overtime while I was away because my pants are allContinue reading “of biscuits and birds”
gosling manor of kiawah.
So this house is home base for me until Sunday, over dinner we nicknamed it Gosling Manor. It’s the biggest house I’ve ever been in, and I was convinced houses don’t come bigger than this house until we went to the beach and saw this house: I mean. I’m on Kiawah Island just outside CharlestonContinue reading “gosling manor of kiawah.”
