Thanks for your wonderful trip report. I just got back from a land based vacation with my 3 year old that included 3 national parks. While it was fun, it was not the least bit relaxing. Whenever we got overwhelmed, I reminded my husband that our next vacation would be a
DCL cruise and we would actually be able to unwind. So in the debate between you and your dad re the next trip, I think you definitely have the winning argument.
Positive thoughts to your family as they deal with the loss of your brother.
