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
Carnival Magic – Day 6 – At Sea, Green Eggs & Ham, sweating on deck, and winning a Hairy Chest Competition
Carnival Magic – Day 5 – Grand Turk
Today was Grand Turk! This island quickly had us in love…. We were shook awake once again by the side thrusters from the ship but it was fine by us on this day, we all wanted to get up early. We all decided the night before to get off the ship by 9:30. We walked…
Carnival Magic – Day 4 – Amber Cove
Again, sorry for the lack of pictures. Tomorrow will be more, but below is what happens when you stop at Amber Cove in the Dominican Republic…. We had an excursion planned at Amber Cove and it was set to leave at 11am. It was nice because the night before was New Years Eve, and while…
Carnival Magic – Day 3 – Sea Day – NYE!
Today I got up by myself at 8:15 and went to the Lido deck buffet and got an omelette. As mentioned before, today was MUCH better with lines although I noticed on the way up that Southern Lights had tons of people waiting. Not sure if people got turned off from the buffet the previous…
Carnival Magic – Day 2 – Half Moon Cay
What has become now a bit of a tradition, Ella and I got up first on this first morning. With that said, it wasn’t as early as our previous two cruises, I think we were up by 8 whereas other cruises it might have been 6:30 or 7. Also different from our other cruises is…
Carnival Magic – Day 1 – Embarkation
I LOVE SAIL AWAYS! At this point we are unpacked, have done everything we NEED to do, we’ve usually had our first drink by this time. Now it’s time to relax, dance a little, and watch the land disappear.
