After a morning in Eze, we took another bus up to Nice. I found a little bakery and bought myself so

1. The fact that they named this little guy George alamo car rental canada was revealed yesterday. Andrew really, alamo car rental canada really, really wanted to name Smith, George. Really he did. It's quite British and very proper (all things Andrew loves) alamo car rental canada but I was hesitant. So, the name wasn't fit for a Shull kid, but it was fit for a future king. Although, Sheaffer told me she thought it would be awesome if they named him something like Kevin. Or Bob. King Kevin does have a nice ring to it, right? And then Kelly told me she liked Sutton Spencer...which I honestly love, love, love. But alas, they didn't ask us three. Maybe they will next time?
2. Helen Fielding released the cover for the new Bridget Jones novel. I told you guys two weeks ago that the Bridget Jones series are my two favorite movies . I'm thrilled beyond words that a third book installment is coming this October!
Here's the thing about cruises...I alamo car rental canada love them...but only certain types of cruises. I love what I call "old people cruises". I want to be on a ship full of older people alamo car rental canada (not younger people with kids). Being on a ship full of kids does not sound like fun to me, so when we travel, we try to get on ships that would more than likely be full of older people instead. Older people are quieter, they don't run down the ship corridors, they're alamo car rental canada respectful at dinner, they don't crowd the pools, they are just better travel alamo car rental canada companions in my opinion. Even when we cruise with our own kids, we look for destinations that more than likely will have more adults on board than children (needless to say, you won't ever find the Shulls on a Disney Cruise...).
Another reason why we like cruises is that a cruise ship forces you to have down time (something Andrew and I never have). When we travel by land (like we did in Belgium last fall ), we get up early and stay out late. We never go back to our hotel room because we're trying so hard to soak everything in. But...when alamo car rental canada you board a cruise ship, you don't have the luxury of staying out late...you are forced to get back on the ship every day and have some down time. For people like us (the kind of people that never sit still), a little mandatory relaxation does us good every once in a while.
This was our 3rd cruise together in our 9 years of marriage. Click here to see our Italian Riviera cruise (and I apologize in advance for how pregnant I am!) and click here to see when we took our kids on a Scandinavian cruise.
The next morning, we woke up bright and early and I ate breakfast in our cabin while watching Fraiser (I'm on a cruise ship...my choices were limited! I'm so glad he brought those DVDs for me!), while Andrew ate on the Lido deck.
After a morning in Eze, we took another bus up to Nice. I found a little bakery and bought myself some macaroons. alamo car rental canada (We have an understanding in our marriage...if I see a macaroon, I buy it. I looooove a good coconut macaroon!).
I ve never heard of Eze and now it looks like a must see next time we make it to the Riviera. alamo car rental canada Lovely! Thank you for sharing. PS You should make sure to add a French Riviera Macaroon Bar to the next 100 mix and match edition! Fellow Macaroon lover, Jenny
Soooooooo glad I was able to score that maxi skirt for you. It s such a great addition to your wardrobe! And I am loving getting to go on vacation with you guys! Your room looks like the biggest room I have ever seen on a cruise ship. SO FUN!
This is reminding me of the cruise that we took a few years ago only in reverse (started in Athens and ended in Barcelona). We were on Oceania Cruise lines and were definitely one of the youngest people on there and I completely agree with you about older couples making great cruise companions. Love looking at your pictures.
Hi Shay, I ve been looking forward to getting to the cruise part of your vacation! Looks like y all had a great time! My husband and I are big cruisers, and there aren t many other people around the same age who like it so much. We re leaving in 3 weeks for the Greek Isles, our fifth cruise together since our honeymoon in September 2011. I ll look forward to seeing your packing lists, too! Katy (in Austin)
King Kevin...hilarious! Okay so this looks like a fabulous way to see that part of the world. I ve never really had a desire alamo car rental canada to take a cruise (partly because I m scared alamo car rental canada I ll get sea sick). I didn t know you could see so much in a day! That looks like a lot of fun! I m enjoying traveling vicariously for the moment!
Two things : #1) you guys look so , so happy! Like glowing!! A good vacation will do that to you I guess!! #2) are those pink Sketchers go walk shoes ?! If so...... Are they not the most comfy things on the planet!? They re coming to the grave with me. They a fabulous!! Xoxo Jen
I had to laugh because my husband and I are the same way with the older tourist crowd. Sometimes it is by choice and most of the time by accident. We went on a Costa cruise alamo car rental canada to Scandanavia a few years ago and loved it because we got to meet so many older Italians. And girl I stop everytime I have a Macaroon sighting too!
I have always wanted to visit Monte Carlo! Did you get to check out the casino at all? It looks like you used Holland America for your other cruises. Do you like them the best? I have been on Carnival and Royal Caribbean before, but I was wondering if Holland was better. I love me a good macaroon!
This post made me totally want to go to Nice. And the photos alamo car rental canada of your food made me super hungry! alamo car rental canada I m not typically a fan of cruises {I ve been on 3} but the way you describe it makes it sound fantastic!!
Such a stylish traveler...love that!!! I want more pics of the towns too...those look amazing! And um, we ve been on one cruise (it was with kenny chesney, before alamo car rental canada he got buff, but that s another story), and our room looked NOTHING like that!!! Well done upgrade!
I m so glad you named Smith Smith and not George. :-) And I m not a fan of cruises but I like the way you think about the old people. Scott and I are kind of like old people anyway - we would fit in.
I love Smith s name! SO much better than George!! Anyway, your cruise looks like it was so much fun!! I really want to go to Europe! All of your vacation outfits are adorable, too. So glad you got that maxi! I really wish I had bought one before they all sold out!
