Our Spring Break Carnival Cruise

Wait, what?  They went on a cruise?

No. What I meant to say was Carnival Cruis-ing. It's like a Carnival Cruise, except there's no water, no huge boat, no snorkeling, no weird hypnotist shows, and no all-inclusive food bar. 

We became traveling carnival junkies.

(Did she really just confess this??)

Yes. Carnivals.  No passport, no tons of planning, and no overpacking.  Because keepin' it simple.

Arizona has lots to offer this time of year.  From baseball spring training to music and food festivals, there's plenty to see and do, and it's all going on outdoors.  The weather is PARADISE. 

We started out at the Arizona Ostrich Festival in Chandler.  Kayleigh got to meet Peyton List, star of the Disney Channel show Jessie.  Jackie got to play with some orange cones, and was ecstatic when he found an abandoned bag of kettle corn.   

They both gave it two thumbs up.

Then we "cruised" on over to the Superstition Springs Carnival, where we were greeted with a cool breeze, no waiting for rides, and plenty of games to play. 

I don't know when carnival games became $5-10 dollars a pop, but don't worry.  The game booth workers are waiting to graciously compensate you with a stroller full of new inflatables, plush animals, and toilet-bound goldfish for your car ride home. 

We had a great time this week.  Hopefully, the warm weather will linger as long as possible before turning into the desert inferno called summer in Arizona.

Did you do something fun for spring break?  If you're interested in accompanying us on our next Carnival "Cruise," we'd be happy to take you along!
