Nana's Birthday Cruise - Dominican

 Up and off the ship early in the morning for our first day! 

We decided against an excursion at this stop as they had a pool, lazy river, and shopping! 

We spent the day in the sun, sipping drinks, and floating around. 

It was a gorgeous day! 

We know we get free food on the ships, but we are a family who likes to try local cuisine. So, we enjoyed a nice lunch and a little shopping before heading back to the ship. 

Naps and dinner made the perfect day. 

Miami Beach and Nana's 70th Birthday Cruise

Our next Summer trip came rather quickly. 

We did our most favorite thing when traveling, heading to a hotel the night before for parking and early flights. 

An early morning flight took us to Miami for the next 36 hours. 

We had quite a bit packed and I was so excited! 

First up, lunch at Bacon Bitch. 

So yummy and it was so funny. 

Next up was a little shopping exploring. 

Before our big dinner plans. 

My kids crack me up. 

I gave them many of options of things to do in Miami and they both came back with this on their #1. 

Dinner at Nobu. 

While this isn't my favorite type of food, it was amazing! 

The food, the drinks and the service were the best. 

The bill....well, that was a different story. 

This was the best one! The little corns. 

After dinner, we headed back did the gigantic ferris wheel. The views were ridiculous!

We walked around Miami Beach and down to the ocean. 

I freaking LOVE Miami and the whole vibe. 

The next morning, we had an early morning shuttle. 

To the CRUISE PORT! 

It was time to start celebrating Nana's 70th Birthday! 

We met Nana, Jojo, Nate and Kelly! 

Next Stop...The Dominican Republic!
