POOPER TURNED PEE WORTHY

March 20, 2007 by Brian Berry 4 Comments

Just saw this product advertised. I think I might need it. 3 boys. $25. Sounds like a no brainer.

2 problems however:

Who wants to clean the blue thing- especially since the toilet will not be splashing any rinse water on it.
Instead of decreasing pee “misses”, it might increase them now that they have a reason to “aim” for something other than the water. The splash zone might just increase. Especialy when the sword wars occur habitually at bath time. It would be even more cool if you could order one with a target on the back. Maybe I’ll add my own.

DEPARTURE DAY

March 20, 2007 by Brian Berry Leave a Comment

Our first day on the boat was more like a half day… we boarded at like 3pm after standing several hours in line we shipped off at like 5pm. It was kinda overcast and even drizzling- we were excited to get out of dodge. Here’s the pics and the details of departure day….

We found our room on the 10th floor with a balcony
Walked the ship to get our bearings
Bought our coke and coffee cards to use all week (it’s cheaper cuz you have to pay for drinks on these floating hotels)
Found out what a “muster station” was (a place you meet before you drown) and how to use your life vest if we have a titanic episode
Found our dinner table.. 8:15 pm at number 278 for the week and met our waiter- Thomas from Hungary.

Lots and lots of fun… and tons of anticipation in the air on our first cruise, our first time to the Caribbean and a week of full on laziness and fun.

This was how my breakfast came to me on the first day of our cruise. Someone in the kitchen must have been laughing hysterically when they made this. Everything else I want to write or say here is now being omitted…

CARIBBEAN CRUISE- welcome to Galveston

March 19, 2007 by Brian Berry 1 Comment

Ok.. this week I’m going to try and relive my cruise week. I’ll post a photo collage of each day- one per day for this week. Something I’ve been wanting to do since we got back. I was going to do this while on the cruise… but my computer busted on day 1.

Anyway, this first one is a photo collage of our first day arriving in Galveston, Texas.

We met our new traveling party, our old friends Will, Jill, Elyshia, and Andrew in At the airport in Houston, Texas. We also met Jeff and Lisa for the first time: two new friends for us who are former coworkers and long time college/wedding party friends of Will and Jill. We then took a crazy cab ride to Galveston, about an hour away to the Hotel Galvez. Each couple had their own cab because evidently we missed the shuttle that Princess Cruises had for arriving guests – so they sent us in cabs instead. One cab got lost, one cab got a ticket, and few were driven like ours- by some guy who evidently believed there are two ways to drive a cab: full throttle and coasting. He alternated between the two the entire one hour drive.

Anyway, once we finally got there, we had a nice dinner, a good nights sleep, lots of anticipation in the air, and a lovely breakfast to start off an amazing, relaxing, and must do again kind of week.
