On A Boat-Day 2: Embarkmentation

So we headed off to Galveston to board the Carnival Conquest for our Eastern Carribean Cruise. Thelines for security and check in went great. Through and through in 30 minutes.

We didn't do much, but we checked out the Welcome aboard show in the main theatre. It was a very good show Cheezy as usual, but very good. One of the new features ofthe ship is that they now have a stand-up comedy series called Punchliner. They are bringing more and more stand-up acts which I love.

It was a good first night and we are looking forward to more.

Visiting the In-Laws

So this past week(end) Jen and I took a trip up to Minnesota to visit her family. The drive was a bit exhausting, but fun rolling with my wife and the dogs. BTW, thanks Jen for setting up the pit stop in KC, we really needed that.


We visited with some of the folks up there including Grandma Crouch, the Cabonaras (Don't worry I'm not tired of seeing you guys yet, ;)), Tonya, Andrea and of course Jen's immediate family.


One of the big parts of the visit was for Cooper and Tyson to meet (Bella tagged along). Man that was a rough and entertaining event. They played well and sometimes faught. We later determined that the fighting was caused by food and toys. Live and learn. There were occasions that Tyson would come to the rescue of Bella, even when she didn't need it. The most entertaining thing to me was when both Tyson and Cooper decided to gang up on Te'. Didn't quite work out as they hoped. I think that if Aleisha hadn't intervened, Te' would have messed them up.


One of the other cool visits were to the Hubbell House in Mantorville, MN. This was a very nice resturant Grandma Crouch took us to after church. Great food and vegatarian/vegan friendly. I highly recommend folks to check out this place if you haven't already.


We returned home with a lot of goodies given to us by Grandma Crouch, which I'm sure Jenny will put to use. She's great at that. I'll admit that I was very nervous transporting all of that glass for over 15 hours, but all survived the trip.


I was great to see you all. It has been a long time and we hope to see you all again more often.


Momma Crouch: Looking forward to seeing you in October.


Dave C.: Looking forward to crushing in fantasy football.

Aliesha: Hope to see you down here very soon.
