Caribbean Cruise: Part 1

All three of the boys had different spring breaks this year, so for this trip it was just Pete, Drew and I. It was a fun trip but I know we all missed having Tyler and Jake part of the fun.

Before leaving for the airport we dropped Bella off at the kennel- a place she is always very excited to go to.

Then it was off to the airport for our flight to Houston.

From the Houston International airport we hired a driver to take us the hour drive to the port at Seabrook where we would stay for the night. We have never sailed out from this port before so we were not sure what to expect but it turned out to be a nice area to spend the evening. After settling into our hotel we hopped on a shuttle to the Kemah Boardwalk. This boardwalk are has a bunch of waterfront restaurants, amusement rides and shops.

We walked around for a bit and decided on dinner at Landry's Seafood. It was fabulous!

After dinner we walked the boardwalk area some more and rode the ferris wheel to see the views of the area.

Saturday morning, Pete and Drew headed over to the Houston Space Center (while I got a work out in at the hotel fitness center.)

They had fun at the Space Center but wished they would have had a bit more time to explore. 
We needed to catch our shuttle to the ship. :)

Our room was a mini-suite with a balcony which worked perfect for the three of us.
