Disney Cruise (by Lindsay)

In the middle of May, we were so fortunate to have Ella's Make-A-Wish trip...a Disney Cruise (aboard the Disney Dream) to the Bahamas!

It was a magical trip, to say the least, and we all had an incredible time!!!  Make-A-Wish took care of everything, literally everything, from transportation to the airport, to money for souvenirs.  We were treated like royalty the entire time we were there! 

The cruise ship was like a palace on water, and luckily none of us had any issues of sea sickness :)  The food was amazing, as was the service.  We enjoyed time in the pools, on the beach, and we even got to swim with a dolphin!

We are so grateful for the Make-A-Wish organization for providing us with the trip of a lifetime!!!

But enough talk...pictures are worth a thousand words :)
