Pre-Trip It's Never Too Early to Start a PTR, Right?!?

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:

Lily got a ukelele for her birthday and was thrilled!

Unfortunately, I won't have anything to update for quite some time, but I was so excited and wanted to share with you guys!!

I didn't think they were still sending these out, so it was a very pleasant surprise to find them in the mailbox when I got home from work!!
Only 16 more days until we leave! Time has been flying! It seems like we just attended graduation yesterday, yet it's been almost a month! We did take a quick road trip to Iowa a few weekends ago so Brian, Lily, and Owen could see the campus. It is beautiful and Iowa City has such a cute little downtown that is literally across the street from campus. We are so excited for Logan!

I may post a few highlights as we go, but most likely won't be on here much until we get back. Thank you to all who have followed along with my planning. I will post a trip report when we get back!
