Cruising - Fort Lauderdale

A couple of years ago our family made a decision regarding our summer vacations.  Since we lived away from all of our family, all of our vacations were spent going back to visit family. We wanted to have some other experiences so we decided that we would go to California the first summer, Utah the second, and somewhere different the third.  This year was the third year, so we initially thought we would head to Disney World.  In the end we decided to try something we had never done, but that I have always wanted to do. We decided to go on a cruise!  It didn't take very much convincing to get not just one set of grandparents to join us, but both decided to come.  

With Grammy and Grampy Hooper in tow, we started out early in the morning to head to Tulsa and catch our flight to Fort Lauderdale. After a long airplane ride, we arrived!

We got to the hotel and met up with Grandma and Grandpa Mitchell, who had arrived earlier in the day. The kids love their Grandpa, he is the best playmate.  We went to dinner at the kid's all time favorite restaurant - Sweet Tomatoes.

We then headed back to the hotel to play games and to get ready for our exciting adventure the next day.
