Tomorrow, we are leaving for a winter holiday. We are going on a cruise.
Seriously.
Here is it, the second day of Lent, and I'm doing nothing but eating cake* and going on cruises. Ready to get struck by lightning any moment now.
All of us - kids, baby, crazy parents (just two) - head for NY tomorrow, then board the Gem on Saturday. (Is that ship seriously emblazoned with cartoony gems? Or is that Photoshop job?) And sail down Bahamas way... Where they are having the coldest winter ever. And, embarking from New York, you ask? In February? Give us a break, we're new to this whole cruising business. Last year, we drove two hours north of Gatineau for our winter getaway. This will be an improvement, I promise. "Next time", we'll fly straight to Miami and go south from there.

Doesn't this kid look like he needs a break from winter?
At the very least, we'll be leaving the housework far, far behind.
* On the weekend, we had "death by chocolate" birthday cake at my Dad's. Then, I made a cheesecake for Family Day, complete with grated fudge topping in the shape of a heart. Maman came for supper on Family Day and brought leftover spice cake. And let me tell you, that woman can bake. So I've been stuffing my face and enduring the tummy cramps all week. I'm nice and puffy for the cruise, but it'll be too cold for bathing suits anyway.
