We managed to get passports for everyone without raising suspicion & when it came time to pack we told them we were going to see grandma (I NEVER said we were going to St. George to see grandma-I'm pretty sneaky).
We met grandma at the airport in Salt Lake, had a layover in Atlanta (where Rob was they human jungle gym) & stayed overnight in Miami-not once did my kids ask what was going on (and yes my children are usually sharp). We got into the cruise terminal & decided to reveal the big surprise.Me: "Guess what we're doing today kids..."
No answer...
Me: "we're going on a cruise-yeah!!"
Lauren burst into tears muttering something about the Titanic & hurricanes & dying.
Rachel looked panicked after seeing Lauren's reaction.
Hayden was just happy to bounce around.
Ben (with hands on hips & head cocked sideways): "are you telling me we AREN'T going to St. George?" Heavy sigh.
Not quite the reaction we expected
when telling them we were headed to the Eastern Caribbean.Ah well live & learn! I'll post more details & pictures soon (like once my head stops spinning from the holidays).
