Cruisin’-Day 1

I’m just going to pretend that I’ve been SO busy having a life that I haven’t had a chance to blog since January.  Well, some of that’s true.  We are usually busy but it’s not always that exciting.  However, I’m not here to talk about the boring stuff like dishes, laundry and taxiing my daughter around!

As I mentioned several months ago, we went on a cruise along the California coast last October. This was our first official family vacation but hopefully not our last.  Because we were gone for nine days, my plan is to highlight each day our trip and although technically the cruise was only seven days, we arrived in Long Beach a couple days early to check out the sites.

  This was Elizabeth’s first time flying. She was very excited!

After we arrived in Long Beach and settled in at our motel, Elizabeth and Steve decided  it was time for a swim.  Little did we know, that’s all they’d be doing for the next nine days :)

Once dry, we packed up our rental car and headed to Medieval Times…

  …where we watched a fantastic show…

… and Elizabeth fell in love with the Red Knight after being crowned Queen of the Tournament :)

Although this was our first “knight” in California, we could have left feeling like the trip was a success. Medieval Times was awesome, the actors were hilarious and it was well worth the near-death driving experience we encountered just to get there :)
