Carnival Vista – Day 9 – Debarkation and Flying Home
The sad time of any cruise…debarkation. We rent a 12 passenger van, go to Cocoa Beach and Disney Springs before we fly home.
Carnival Vista – Day 4 – Aruba!
First port day and we went to an great beach, saw an amazing sunset, and and enjoyed a rare dinner at a port.
Carnival Vista – Day 3 – Another Sea Day
A low key sea day that would get quite warm and lead us to a game of corn hole and looking off the front of the ship
Carnival Vista – Day 2 – Sea Day / New Years Eve
A very fun first day at sea started off relaxing then ramped up throughout the day.
Carnival Vista – Day 1 – Embarkation
The beginning of another excellent cruise starts with an early morning, embarkation, a delayed sail away, and a fun start to our vacation.
Carnival Vista – T Minus 1 – Travel Day
Before our cruise we take part in our usual day of travel as we attempt to get to Florida
Yellowstone – Day 4 – The Falls and a Teepee
All told, 2,123 miles and around $250 in gas spent for the trip but a life time of memories for sure
Yellowstone – Day 3 – Grand Faithful
Grand Prismatic was first along the way and there is two places to view it. Either you park in the parking lot or along the road and take the boardwalk to walk right up to it, or you walk a little farther to the Fairy Falls Trail parking lot and view it from above. Both areas were really full so we decided to move on to Old Faithful.
Yellowstone – Day 2 – Beartooth Pass
We start the ascent up Beartooth. Red Lodge’s elevation is 5,568 feet so we begin our one mile vertical climb to 10,987 feet at the top of the pass.
Yellowstone – Day 1 – Travel to Red Lodge
I remember going to Yellowstone back when I was a teenager. I hadn’t been there in over 25 years but I loved the beauty of the mountains and the bit of mystery that surrounds the hot springs and geysers of Yellowstone. I had always known it was a place I wanted to take my kids some day
Carnival Magic – Day 6 – At Sea
