Hi guys… long time, no talk! 
I apologize for being so M.I.A. this week. I’ll be honest, being away from blogging for a full week and then having it in the back of my head that I’m going to be away from it for another two weeks starting this Saturday made me lose my MOJO.
Thinking about downloading all my pictures and writing a post while I had laundry to do, things to unpack, friends to catch up with, etc. was overwhelming. As I mentioned in my Confessions of a New Blogger post, if I felt I needed a break, I’d take it. I promised you I wouldn’t ever give you a half hearted post, and I meant it. Hence, my little “break.”
Anyway, I wanted to give you a little picture recap of cruise #1 before I left for cruise #2 (such a tough life, I tell ya).
Cruise #1 was to BERMUDA with 33 of my family members. This cruise was a celebration of my Nana on her 80th birthday! I have a huge, very close family, and every single one of us managed to make it! Hope you enjoy the pictures…..
Before leaving for Bermuda on our balcony…
“Sail Away Party” on the top deck…
Cocktail hours & dinners on the boat….
Enjoying the beautiful beaches of Bermuda…
Catamaran trip with the whole family…
Nighttime fun & a whole lot of dancing on the ship….
Have you ever been on a vacation with your entire family?
What is the most *fun* you and your family have ever had together??
Are you a “boat person?” I’ll admit… I love being on the water, but I got a bit seasick the first two days… not fun, not fun at all.
I love cruises, but can’t convince my family to go on one!
I’ll admit, I never wanted to go on one before because thinking about being in the middle of the ocean freaked me out… But besides being seasick I loved it!

It looks like you and your family had such a great time! A few years ago my Dad’s entire side of the family took a vacation to the Virgin Islands to celebrate my grandparent’s wedding anniversary. It was so awesome and definitely one of the best vacations I’ve ever been on!
Which island did you go to??

first off, i LOVE cruises – but I’ve always gone with just my parents & brother, or just my parents. We have never been fortunate enough to go on a vacation with the ENTIRE fam, but oh my, from the look of your pictures it seems like a blast!
Last spring, I did go on my cruise with 20 of my sorority sisters and that was a GREAT time, but i would love to enjoy one with my entire family.
A cruise with 20 sorority sisters sounds awesome!!

Looks like such a fantastic time! Love the pictures. I’ve been on vacay with my immediately family, my grandparents, and my aunt and uncle. Not everyone … but a pretty big chunk! I love being able to relax and kick back with a lot of the people I love
Exactly! It was such a blast to just chill out with all my favorite people!

Wow..it looks absolutely beautiful there! I went on my first cruise to the Bahamas 2 years ago. I took Bonine every day and felt fine but I was extremely tired by the end of the day. I’d rather be tired than feeling sick all day. Great pictures!
I was going to take Dramamine but I was scared I would be asleep before dinner every night!

My whole Dad’s side of the family makes it to Long Beach Island each summer. The fun usually happens post 10pm, when we start a rousing game of Spoons or Celebrity
That’s so fun! I love Long Beach Island so much… we actually go there each summer too! Have you been to Nardi’s?? It’s a great dive bar!
oh gosh I want to be on a beach so bad!
How fun to go with the family!
I didn’t realize that so many of them were going to be on your trip- that is awesome!
I’ve never seen the ocean so I have no idea if I am a boat person or not- but I would love to find out!!!
What a wonderful trip! It looks like you guys all had such a great time
i lovee that all 33 of you were able to attend, that’s so awesome and usually so unlikely! Well rest up and enjoy your next vacation (insert jealousness)
What an amazing trip!!! I’ve never been on a trip with my entire family, but it seems like it would be a blast
Craig’s brother, SIL, sister, BIL, and I are all pretty close so I’d love to go on a vacation with all of them some day.
I’m glad you had an amazing time with your family!!
I have never been to Bermuda, looks gorgeous! Our only real family vacation we took was about 8 years ago to the Virgin Islands. It was a blast!
I just found your blog from your guest post on Emily’s blog…I just got married about 6 weeks ago and am starting my first teaching job this year! We have a few things in common
Your pictures are gorgeous! Can’t wait to read more!
Looks like you guys had an amazing time!!! Love all of your pictures!
We just got back from our cruise last night, and it was a blast!

I’ve always been nervous to go on a cruise because I get seasick too, but I’m glad that you had fun! We went kayaking in Hawaii and I felt sick every time we had to stop and just sit with the waves…I never thought the waves would bother me that much!
