Breaking away from the day to day
Living in Miami, we are a “stone’s throw” away from Orlando: the mecca for family entertainment. Since we are so close, it’s an easy way for my family to travel on a weekend getaway. With the summer months being so HOT, it’s fun to visit a waterpark in order to get the thrills of rides,…
A first-ever Dr. Seuss-themed water park will be featured on Carnival Cruise Line’s newest ship, the 133,500-ton Carnival Horizon. This will be the first in the fleet to feature Dr. Seuss WaterWorks, a vibrant water park inspired by the whimsical world and words of the legendary children’s author. The 3,934-passenger vessel is set to debut in…
Orlando, Florida is home to over a dozen amusement parks. Since Orlando is only a quick 4 drive from Miami, my guys love heading to Universal Studios for a quick and exciting getaway. Universal Orlando has several on-site resorts that are steps to the entrance to the parks. One of the most beautiful is the…
My boys are officially tweens. It’s like a knife to the heart. Gone are the days of my cute little babies who needed me all the time. Here are the days of them thinking I’m no longer cool and them wanting to be alone more. This posed a problem recently on a cruise. Now we are…

I’ve mentioned before that for a fun-filled and reasonably priced vacation for a family is to take a cruise. Not only are all of your meals included, but you only have to unpack once & your family can experience different places. Carnival Cruise Lines not only added Camp Ocean, but also a new component for…
I was recently invited to cruise on the newly updated Carnival Freedom. Eight wonderful days full of family fun & sun while visiting ports in the Southern Caribbean. It was heavenly! This past April, the Carnival Freedom pulled into dry dock for cosmetic and engineering updates. During this time, the Freedom became the the first…
Today we were at sea all day. These are the best days because there are so many planned activities for the whole family. When we woke up, The Nag said we needed to drop him off at Camp Carnival right away. “I have things to do.” Little Ricky was a bit more hesitant, but when…
Our Spring Break was FINALLY here, and we were headed on a week long trip on The Carnival Breeze! We couldn’t get on board fast enough! So, we MAY have packed a lot…but we were SO excited to go away for a week, we didn’t want to forget anything! We made it through customs like…
