As Middle School graduation approached, my friend Lauren and I had promised our girls - K and her bestie Ava - a special trip. We told them that the trip was booked but that the location was a surprise. Just to make it more interesting, no matter what they asked us, we would answer YES. "are we going to Paris? YES. Are we going on a plane? YES. Are we taking a train? YES." They still had no idea where they were going even when we pulled up in front of our huge Carnival Cruise ship. We sailed from Galveston to Cozumel on a 5 day cruise and the girls had a blast -moms did too!
