Disney Cruisin’ Part 2: Adult Time
The nice thing about going on a Disney Cruise is that with the help of on board activities & camps for kids, you're able to sneak in some adult time! The camp that Cooper went to ran from 9am-midnight with open drop-in hours. During nap time and at night, Casey and I traded Cooper duty so we could both be apart of some memorable ADULT TIME activities.
So in those brief moments of adult time, this is what happened:
Disney Cruisin’ Part 1: The Food
The day after Christmas we went on a Disney Mexican Riviera Cruise for 7 days with Casey's family (22 of us total!). My in-laws decided to take EVERYONE on the cruise. I never imagined that I would go on a Disney cruise! (thank you thank you Linda & Phil!). It was a blast!
Rather than inundate you with TONS of photos, I'm going to break it up into a few parts. Today I'll be showing you the FOOD!
Can I tell you that I was a little scared about the food situation on the boat? I read reviews online that the food wasn't that great. Someone said that it was like eating at Sizzler for a week. While I do like their cheesy toast, I have my standards! I feared I would miss my kitchen terribly. I kinda did but overall there were some great options.

Halloween 2011

Our Halloween was busy/fun! What you see up there is Cooper's candy loot. He was so proud of how much candy he collected that he wouldn't let any of us hold his bucket until we had to carry him home at the end of the night. Trick- or- Treating WIPED him out!

The Gaige House
Last weekend Casey & I went on a much needed vacation; we were totally due! My parents watched Cooper (thank you, parents!) and we were able to indulge in some great wine as well as some crazy good food. This was our first vacation away together in a little over 2 years, so were able to save up and splurge!

This is our second time staying at the Gaige House in Glen Ellen. We absolutely fell in love the first time we went in 2009 and we've made it our destination when we want to get away. I like that it's a little less than a two hour drive from our home. Though people come from all over the country to stay there and I can totally see why. It's truly a ZEN oasis.
