2.20.16 Cattle Baron Ball

Glenn and I attended the Cattle Baron Ball - a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. It was so much fun. First, we had to go to the western store to get outfitted with hats and boots. The event was fantastic - a live band, amazing food stations, and great auction items. We bid on and won two tickets to the Big Brother finale!! My sister and I have watched every season on Big Brother so this is an ultimate bucket list item. I can't wait.

2.13.16 - 2.14.16 Boston

We headed to Boston for a one night only trip to visit Tom and Margaret for the Boston Wine Festival brunch. Margaret and Tom made the best multi-course meal with lots of amazing wines from their wine cellar. Brunch was fantastic too. The great food and wine made up for the FREEZING temperatures.

2.5.16 - 2.7.16 Disney World

This trip we tried a few things we haven't done in a while or before:

We stayed at Boardwalk Inn for the first time.

Country Bear Jamboree

Character dance party at Hollywood Studios followed by the Star Wars fireworks

Lunch at Nine Dragons in China at Epcot

Dinner at the Yachtman's Steakhouse

Brunch at California Grill

12.31.15 - 1.4.15 New Year's Eve Cruise on Carnival Inspiration

We just can't resist a New Year's Eve cruise so we decided a little last minute to hop on the Carnival Inspiration out of Tampa. We had a blast. It was a great time with our normal routines of trivia, hanging out by the pool, and enjoying the deck parties. It was so fun that we didn't take any pictures.

12.23.15 - 12.27.15 Christmas in Indy

We headed to Indy to celebrate Christmas. As usual, it was a fun time with the little people. It's so fun to watch their personalities grow.

12.12.15 I PET A PENGUIN!

For my birthday, Glenn set up a penguin encounter at Busch Gardens. It was amazing!!!!

11.26.15 - 12.6.15 South Florida and Norwegian Getaway

On Thanksgiving we headed down to Fort Myers to meet up with Karen and her family. We stayed at Diamond Head Beach Resort.  It is an old school Florida resort on a great beach. We enjoyed their Thanksgiving buffet. In the morning, we headed to Miami for a 2 night stay at the Biltmore Coral Gables. It's a gorgeous resort. The pool is huge and we spent a couple days relaxing. One night we had dinner at Bulla Gastro bar and Cypress Tavern. Bulla Gastrobar had great tapas. Cypress Tavern was also a great dinner.

On Sunday, we boarded the Norwegian Getaway. We got a great deal on a Haven Spa Suite.  The Haven has a private pool, restaurant and bar plus we got access to the wet areas of the Spa. It was fantastic. I can't remember a more relaxing vacation. We enjoyed the comedy shows and exploring all the restaurants and bars and even made some great new cruise friends!

For shore excursions, we visited Couples Tower Isle in Jamaica and Sting Ray city in Grand Cayman.

The sting rays totally freaked me out.
