All about my adventures with cooking, crafts, and travel
Disney After Hours is a great summer event that allows you to enjoy the Magic Kingdom after is closes. You feel like a VIP with the short lines and treats.
Thank you to Disney for the invite for attending the Disney After Hours event.
When I first moved to Florida I told myself that I wasn’t going to be a “Disney person”.
Disney World is a glorified amusement park. It’s too loud. It’s too busy. Lets not forget, it’s way too hot. It’s just some rides. It’s for kids.
OMG. I was so, so wrong.

There are endless fun things to do in Tampa Bay. Going on a Saint Petersburg Mural walk is a fun way to see creative, colorful work by awesome artists.
I love exploring where we live!
Florida is such a great place that has so many activities for everyone of all ages. It feels like we are never more an an hour from some awesome activity, like the beach. a museum, zoo, or theme park. But even then, just strolling around town is so much fun!
We recently loaded up the kids and the dogs to head over to Saint Petersburg (aka St. Pete), about a 45 minute drive from where we live, for a fun afternoon of walking around to check out the beautiful murals that are all over the arts district.
I told Autumn that we were going on a “Saint Petersburg Mural Walk” to get to see different pictures on walls. At that point it was a good reminder to tell her that artists got permission to create art on the buildings, and that it’s not okay to just color on the walls. HAHAHA!

Our 2nd port of call on our 5 Night Western Caribbean cruise was Cozumel.
We had already been there when we did another Royal Caribbean cruise out of Tampa in 2015, but we were really looking forward to going again. When we previously went, we spent the day in the port shopping
Autumn being Autumn… upside down sunnies and eating donuts.
We planned the night before and ordered room service (Free- continental breakfast) so that the kids could have something to eat while we took our time waking up and getting ready as we cruised into port.

As much as I love days in port, I love days at sea. They are our chance to relax and enjoy the ship. We hang out in our room more than our days in port, sometimes we even get a nap in! We also walk around the ship a lot, check out the fun activities the cruise director and staff have prepared, and browse the shops. Our first day at sea was delightfully relaxing.

Price and I had been to Key West in 2013 for a day as part of our “Babymoon” in the Florida Keys when I was pregnant with Autumn, so we were really looking forward to going back to Key West. We had so much fun the first time that I was really excited that this was a port of call for us on this cruise.
