September 10th we flew off to hurricane alley (Florida) into the last vestages of Ike. We were off on a long awaited family vacation! April, Vicente and the twins came as well as Marcie, Josh and Liam, Kenna, Lance, Cade and Kara, Tara and Taryn and Jeff and I. Steve was unable to come due to his schooling, and Marcie and Josh and Liam enjoyed disney world instead of the cruise due to Marcie's advanced pregnancy. We had rain upon our arrival but met for a great dinner all together at Old Key West the first evening. The next morning, we were off to the cruise!! It was a first time cruise for most of us and we had a wonderful time. Thank goodness for the seasick bracelets however. The twins and Taryn did very well, and Kara celebrated her 13th birthday on our last evening. One day was spent at Atlantis resort with an incredible aquarium, beaches, pools and fantastic waterslides. The next full day was spent at Castaway Cay where we snorkeled, and went on a glass bottom boat cruise. We highly recommend the Disney cruise for anyone! The service was fantastic and the ship was amazing and on and on!! We hope to go again in a few years when disney launches it's new ship and the grandkids will even be able to enjoy it more - We are sooo greateful for such an amazing and memorable experience - Thanks Jeff!!!
Here are some photos of the fun - Unfortunatly, I we weren't with Marcie and Josh much and Jeff took most of the Armendariz family photos with the video so we don't have as many of them here.
