10 Days until Carnival Cruise

We are real excited about the cruise as you can imagine! The poor kids will be left behind. Sam and I haven’t had a vacation alone since our 10 yr anniversary when we went to NYC for a few days and I got sick and had it coming out both ends. We are going on the Carnival Elation to Cabo San Lucas on Oct 9-13 for those who don’t know. You can check out their website to see our ship and all the stuff we can do on it. The food looks especially wonderful. Jenny and I are NOT on our diets while we are on the cruise! Our shore excursion in Cabo includes sailing and snorkeling- yes, I will be in a bathing suit. I bought a new black dress for the cruise too. Jenny and Jeramiah invited us to go with them since they were planning a cruise to celebrate their one year wedding anniversary. At first we weren’t going to go but they coaxed us into joining them. Another couple who is friends with J&J are going too.
In other news, Tara is going to her first formal dance with a boy, Kevin. It is the Homecoming Dance on Oct. 4th. I ordered her dress online when I ordered mine. It is brown and white and very elegant. I will post pix of them for sure.
