Bloggy McBloggerson
Last week was our 7th wedding anniversary– happy 7 year itch to us! Wait, that sounds like we have a flea problem. Goobers would be embarrassed. Never mind. In any case, September is a big month for Team Samuel– our … Continue reading
Phone roundup
When Andy and I were recently getting new phones, Andy came across some pictures that I hadn’t yet seen or blogged about (crisis, I know), so here are some from the past few months. Kelly’s pigtails and Seattle Sounders dress … Continue reading

Epic Samuel Family Reunion Cruise 2013
Nothing like squeezing in a cross country flight with a toddler to spend a week on a ship after a surgery and before a move! Whew! But we did it and we had a great time. Here are some highlights: … Continue reading

Athens II
We disembarked the ship with the last group (we didn’t have a plane to catch, so we were assigned last) and the ship was eerily empty. The cruise bus took us to the airport, where we stayed at a hotel that … Continue reading
Heading back to Athens
We slept in late, tired from a mind blowing day in Egypt and a sleep-inducing dinner of barbecued American goodness. I think the whole ship slept in! Andy attended the mandatory disembarkation class, and we began to prepare to leave … Continue reading

I’ve had few surreal days in my life– boarding the plane to leave for college the first time, landing in Ireland, getting married, and now this day. People, I saw the frickin’ Sphinx. That’s crazy! I hardly slept the night before, even though I … Continue reading

Cyprus
I think we would have liked Cyprus more if we hadn’t already been to Rhodes. Rhodes was so beautiful that it would be hard to top. The seaside part was quite lovely in Cyprus, but the rest of it reminded … Continue reading
Rhodes, Greece
Today we went to the beautiful Mediterranean island of Rhodes. We have decided that we need to see more Greek islands! Rhodes was just lovely. We began our tour in the Medieval walled city that was once run by the Knights … Continue reading
Ephesus, Turkey
Today was a GREAT excursion day. We knew the second half of our cruise would have some really fantastic tours, and this was a great way to start it off. Our tour guide was exceptional– we gave him the biggest … Continue reading
At Sea
Today was our day at sea on our way back to Turkey. After three weeks of being constantly on the go, it was nice to wander the ship in my flip flops, knowing that the ship was doing all the … Continue reading
