Our 2nd Cruise on the Disney Dream

September 10, 2015·

Last Friday we left for our second cruise on the Disney Dream! We took our first cruise back in March of 2014 when Lilly was just six months old. John’s boss at work has been so kind and gracious to gift some of his staff this trip the last two years, and we were SO excited to have another opportunity to go!

We had a BLAST the first time around, and now that Lilly is two, we KNEW she’d be so fun to take again! And boy, were we right! She, quite literally, was a giant ball of joy the ENTIRE time. Pretty much constantly smiling. Whatever we were doing at that current moment was the MOST FUN THING EVER. Whether it was meeting a character, having a dance party, going to the beach, or pressing the buttons on the elevator – it was the MOST FUN. I had so much fun just watching HER have fun.

I wanted to share some pictures from our trip! I actually didn’t take a ton of pictures this time… shocking, I know. Honestly, we were so busy just having a blast that I would forget to take pictures. 🙂

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy some of the ones I DID take…
