Crusing To The Bahamas

We went on a seven day cruise with Norwegian Cruise Line. We highly recommend using them, the ship was great with lots to do both familywise and if the child wants to go to "camp" and hang with the other kids. The food is eat whenever you want ,no assigned seatings and everything was deliscious including the Indian food which was a surprise, The mini suite was big enough for the 3 of us. First stop was Port Canavrial where we went on an Airboat Adventure and were about 15 feets from huge alligators, great excursions. Second stop was NCL's private beach, white sand clear water and a funfilled family day at the beach. Last but best was the Blue Lagoon Dolphin Experience in Nassau, we chose the Sea Lion experience as we had swam with Dolphins before. This was a small group of 10 people who got to spend an hour with the Sea Lion and learn how to train her, wonderful experience

A Night At The Museum

While not a travel situation per se (only 3 miles away, lol) we wanted to share our experience. The American Museum of Natural History, offers a sleep over a few times a year, get on their email notification list it sells out fast. We booked last August for January 6th.

Limited to about 500 people, each child needa a parent along, but its a blast. Basically the Museum is only open to those with reservations, not complete access but maybe 60%. There are activities like, flashlight fossil hunt, live animal presentation anf an Imax movie. Sleep under the big blue whale on cots, whils not for everyone we loved it.

Overall if you children love science and natural history its a great night, sorry no Ben Stiller
