Brad & I took our 1st (I hope of many) vacation without Eloise. There was serious ugly crying on my part when my parents picked up Eloise and took her away but I eventually calmed down and managed to return to pre-vacation excitement. We flew to Orlando, took a shuttle to Port Canaveral, and left departed for the Bahamas! Thanks to my federal government ID, we were able to bypass all airport security on both legs of the trip. One of the few perks of being a federal employee! To my surprise, Brad upgraded our room on the cruise to one of the owner's suites on the ship (there are 2). Can we say baller status?!? It was AMAZING. We were escorted to our room, bypassed all the waiting in line that goes along with cruising, and were provided to endless perks throughout the trip. We rode ATVs, played at the Atlantis water park, gambled, got some spa treatments, ate lots of food & drank too many pina coladas.
