In a little less than a month my husband will be starting the Police Academy. And before you ask yes we have seen the movie, it is a favorite at our house right now. Once he starts it will mean 32 weeks of nothing but concentrating on graduation. 32 weeks. He starts March 28th so he will graduate around the end of October. Then the fun really starts. For the first few years he will have the worst shifts in the worst parts of town. Also no vacation.

So we are taking one now. A big one. One we have been wanting to go on for a while. In 19 days and 14 hours we will be boarding this...



It is the Carnival Magic. We are SO EXCITED! Seven days of sun, beaches, food, fun, and no family drama. WOOHOO! We have arranged house sitters that will take care of the dogs and cat and house. We have put in for time off. We have been approved for time off. We have booked the cruise and have our boarding passes. I am not packed yet but only bevcause I might want those clothes between now and then. Also because all of my summer stuff is in storage. Oops.

In 19 days 14 hours we will be riding this slide...

Swimming in this pool...

Playing at this mini golf course...

And sleeping in this room...

Does it get any better than this? This will be the last vacation for a few years and we are not pregnant yet so why not go all out? Anyway I'm sorry if you will get tired of hearing about this in the next few weeks but get ready. There will be lots of cruise posts coming up.
