Cruisin

244 days until we set sail.

Two years ago Keirsten and I took our first "real" vacation. I mean, we didn't just go crash at a family member's house. We took a weekend trip to Atlanta and stayed at an awesome little hotel that was old, had mismatched furniture and cool architectural details. It was in a happening neighborhood that had artsy shops,  a bakery, an art gallery, the kind of theatre you would see Rocky Horror at, and some local owned restaurants.  We went to the Georgia Aquarium and did some sight seeing. It was great but pretty expensive being that it was only a weekend trip.

Last year we split a week between Savannah and Charleston.  We went parasailing,  on a dolphin tour (which featured a National Geographic moment), went on a horse drawn history tour, toured the battleship, ghost tour, ate at Paula Dean's restaurant, toured a botanical garden, toured both towns independently,  shopped and ate at local restaurants. We had a great time and learned a bit of history too.

We decided for our next vacation that we wanted to go on a cruise. Not a cheap vacation so we are going to save up through all of 2014. To date I have already paid for the cruise. Now I have to get passports,  buy excursions, and save up spending money. We are going on a 5 night Caribbean Cruise to Nassau and Freeport in the Bahamas. We don't depart until February 2, 2015 but I am already getting excited.
