Harbour Town Lighthouse | Hilton Head Island: Spring Break 2019 | Blog Day 3
Day Three at Hilton Head Island saw the arrival of Emily’s brother Glen, and her parents Kee and Colonel. We visited Harbour Town in the morning to see the Lighthouse and shopping area. After Emily’s parents arrived in the afternoon we all went out to dinner at the Skull Creek Dockside Restaurant. We ended the evening at Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort playing our favorite, Hit or Miss board game.
Resort Fun | Hilton Head Island: Spring Break 2019 | Blog Day 2
I was quite surprised to awake just before 7:00 as my normal body clock gets me up at 5:30. After a very comfortable night’s rest, I was excited to awaken at the cozy, Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort. We were all late to bed the night before as we had a fairly eventful travel day, so I quietly made my… Read more »

I awoke at my customary 6:30 am to the sound of sleep breathing surrounding me. We had finally arrived at the day that the boys were most waiting for, Marvel Day at Sea.

Disney Marvel Cruise 2019 – Nassau Bahamas (Day Three)
I was up at my normal 6:30 a.m. as the rest of the gang was still fast asleep. I plopped down at a table on deck nine with my portable keyboard and enjoyed some morning blogging as the ship approached the island of Nassau in the Bahamas. I was reflecting on the previous two days, appreciating the fact the the… Read more »
Disney Marvel Cruise 2019 – Key West, FL (Day Two)
After a rather unusually hectic embarkation day on the Disney Magic, we were crossing our fingers that everyone would wake up healthy and ready to hit the ground running (or at least walking) in Key West, FL. Hunter and I managed to get up around 5 am and couldn’t get back to sleep, which in turn woke Emily up, so… Read more »
Disney Marvel Cruise 2019 – Embarkation (Day One)
After a long day of work, school, travel prep, and travel to Miami yesterday, we were hoping to get a good night’s rest before boarding the five night Disney Magic Marvel Cruise. Unfortunately, just because you plan to sleep in or well doesn’t mean that it is actually going to happen. Both Hunter and Sawyer had stuffy noses leading up… Read more »
Disney Marvel Cruise 2019 – The Lead Up
With the holidays behind us, we quickly turned the corner to Sawyer’s birthday in January. Emily, who never shies away from a good theme, had her heart set on Sail The SEVEN Seas with Sawyer for Sawyer’s birthday this year. Of course, a Disney Cruise would be the perfect thematic accompaniment to this idea, and Emily was laser focused on… Read more »
