Exciting news!! We're going on another cruise! It just won't be until 2021!
We have promised the kids that we would take them each on a trip as a graduation present, and Logan is finishing up his sophomore year. If you have read any of my other PTRs or even trip reports, you know that I am a planner! I have been on his case to decide what he may want to do so we can 1) start saving money, and 2) I can start researching. He has finally decided that he wants to go on another cruise. He took a few days to decide if he wanted an Alaskan itinerary or a tropical itinerary. He finally decided on a tropical trip. Now we just have to wait for the 2021 itineraries to be released to decide if he wants a longer Caribbean trip or a shorter, but possible Castaway Cay double dip Bahamas trip.
Who: Me (Amy), Brian, Logan (16 now), Lily (14 now), and Owen (11 now)
Here I am with the kids on the last cruise we took in 2014:
Unfortunately, Brian ended up not being able to go on that cruise, so he and I took one later that year.
Needless to say, we have all changed significantly since then!!
Here are the kids on our trip to Universal last year:
And at WinterSummerland last year:
I feel like they all have changed a ton just since last year, too!
Here they are at the zoo on Easter this year:
Logan has had a busy spring with track! (He's the one in the navy!):
Lily got a ukelele for her birthday and was thrilled!
Owen just broke his wrist playing soccer:
And here are Brian and I sitting at one of the many rainy track meets this year:
Unfortunately, I won't have anything to update for quite some time, but I was so excited and wanted to share with you guys!!

We are still hopeful, but not overly optimistic! We do still plan to go if they resume cruising. I figure that all eyes will be on the cruise industry when they resume, so everything will be done as perfectly and safely as possible. Brian is scheduled to get his first vaccine on Feb. 19, and hopefully Logan and I will be able to get ours before July as well. Lily will be old enough for the Pfizer vaccine in April, so fingers crossed she will have access to that too. Logan has decided that he still wants to do a cruise even if we have to put it off until next summer, so I plan to pay in full shortly so we get the extra future cruise credit if it gets cancelled. We are still planning to go to Florida even if the cruise is cancelled. Our SeaWorld tickets are set to expire on Dec. 31, 2021, so we want to use them. We will likely still go to Volcano Bay, SeaWorld, and Kennedy Space Center. We'll see what discounts come out for Disney and maybe see about doing a few days there as well.
