Isle of Skye - Scotland

The Isle of Skye in Scotland was breath taking. When we went we were living in Vegas and talk about polar opposites. We went from no green, to the greenest place I've ever seen. You can drive north from Portree around the top half taking in all of the scenery. There are signs along the way that explain what you are looking at.

Disney Fantasy Cruise Sailing Away Party

Disney sure knows how to throw a party. Here's a video of the sailing away deck party aboard the Disney Fantasy ship on the inaugural cruise. It last much longer than 3 minutes, but I narrowed it down to some highlights of the party.

Castaway Cay - Disney's Private Island

Did you know that Disney has their own private island in the Bahamas? Only Disney ships stop at Castaway Cay making it uncrowded and private.

There are plenty of chairs and hammocks for everyone. You do not have to pay for a chair or umbrella. The Disney Dream came by while we were there, but didn't stop. Only one ship a day at Castaway Cay insuring there's no crowd issues.

 There are multiple kid areas. Two out in the water and a splash pad on land. There could be more, but these were the ones I saw.

 Adults have their own area too. No kids allowed on this side of the island. Don't make my mistake and walk over, it's a long walk. Instead hop on the shuttle.

I don't know about you, but after this trip I think I might be in the market for some Bahamas real estate!

Summit Ski Area on Mt. Hood

At the end of the tiny town of Government Camp, OR right off the road is Summit Ski area. It's a cheap place to ski on Mt. Hood and the runs are perfect for kids. This short video will show you how flat the runs are. Our daughter was skiing for her second time. It was amazing how much better she did when we took her to an easier place to ski.

Some things to know before you go ski Summit :
2 Person ski lift

Public restrooms available out by the road

Aqua Duck water ride on the Disney Fantasy

While on the Disney Fantasy Cruise I had the chance to ride the Aquaduck and have it filmed. I look like an idiot, but the video will still give you an idea of what to expect on the ride. It is not scary at all.

Spring program

My youngest child had his preschool spring program a few days ago. He got really into it. He has more personality than the rest of our family combined! Toward the end of the video he is really shaking it!
