Celebrities and Cervezas

This year was the last time Alan and I got to take an official "Spring Break". We had the best time visiting my grandfather, Pepérè, in Fort Pierce Florida for a few days and then going on a Celebrity Cruise with Patrick and Elizabeth. We had quite an adventure!

Friday-Sunday, March 11-13
We drove from Saint Louis to Nashville to pick up Patrick and Elizabeth and then to Atlanta where we spent the night with Alan's cousins, the Stokes family, and then went on to Fort Pierce Florida to see Pepérè. It was a sweet time of visiting with him and some of the rest of my mom's family.

I got a sinus infection, and not wanting to have to visit the medical facility on the ship, went to a doctor in Fort Pierce for an antibiotic.
Then we drove to Miami where our ship embarked from.
Here we are on the deck ready to depart!
South Beach!
Grand Restaurant is where we ate dinner every night
Tuesday, March 15
Our first day we spent at sea and enjoyed doing NOTHING! We spent the morning laying out, Alan, Patrick, and Elizabeth went to a wine tasting that afternoon, and that evening we went to a fun show and then dinner. After dinner the Captain had a toast for everyone!
Cheers for vacation!

Our second day we docked in Roatan Honduras and set off early to explore. We walked around the town center and then hit the beach. It was beautiful! This is a view from the ship:
The beaches were amazing
Thursday, March 17, "Happy Saint Patrick's Day!"
Our third day we docked in Cozumel Mexico and spent a relaxing day of eating and shopping in town.
We ate lunch with Patrick and Elizabeth at Señor Frogs
Friday, March 18
Our last day on the cruise was at sea and we spent more time lazying around and enjoying the end of our trip.
That last night we actually made it up to the deck to watch the beautiful sunset
That night we had delicious Baked Alaska for dessert!
Saturday-Sunday, March 19-20
We drove safely home and reflected back on a GREAT WEEK!
