A quick update...

So here's a short update on the Welsh Family.

Mother's Day was filled with lots of activities. We went out to breakfast in the morning with my folks, and then washed both of our cars, planted tomatoes, and went to a fun barbeque at my sister's house (complete with swimming). It was a great day, although not what most would call relaxing. But hanging out with the kids, and my family is something I don't get to do during the week as much as I would like. So, it was just the perfect way for me to spend the day. Andrew and the kids got me two bottles of my favorite 'sanity juice' (a.k.a wine). Yummy.

Gearing up for our family trip in mid-June - a cruise to the Caribbean! We were originally booked on a cruise to Mexico, but with the recent H1N1 (swine) flu scare the cruise line made a change to the itinerary. They gave us the choice to either get our money back, or cruise the revised itinerary: LA --> San Francisco --> Seattle -->Vancouver. Although much of the fun of being on a cruise is being on the ship itself, those destinations just didn't cut the mustard for us. We booked on another ship. It's huge, and has an ice skating rink and a rock climbing wall, and a kids water play area, and much much more. I cannot wait!

I have so many fond memories of going on cruises as a kid, and I'm so excited to share those fun times with our kids. There will be 22 of us going, including my Aunt Carol and my Grandmother. Matthew is most excited about the fact that we are going where pirates used to hang out. We are leaving out of Cape Canaveral, so that means we also get to take a tour of Kennedy Space Center, which is a big highlight for me (Ms. Space Junkie).

Speaking of space...Andrew and I saw Star Trek last weekend, and loved it of course. But, I walked away with quite the little crush on the new Captain Kirk. He is one tasty piece of eye candy - yummy!
