Birthday Barbie was my sister’s genius idea to surprise me for my birthday. She and my daughters and brother-in-law brought her to me on the Sunday before Memorial Day.
I wish I had a video of them marching into my house to present their creation.
They were so excited and apparently had a lot of fun putting Barbie into the cake and covering her with sprinkles.
LB had made last minute plans to take me on a cruise to celebrate my old age aka birthday.
So… since I would be away on the actual day, someone decided that we would celebrate my birthday early.
We enjoyed the Barbie dress for dessert at the Memorial Day Pool party.
It was 3 layers: white, strawberry, and lemon. Very tasty.
I can’t remember who had the great idea that Barbie should come along on the cruise to help document the event.
But Barbie was all in… she even helped me pack…
When we left Wednesday morning for Miami, she called “shot gun”, but I outranked her.
We made it safely to the port in Miami and found our living quarters. Here’s Barbie enjoying a seat in the living area of the cruise cabin. Birthday Barbie became Bon Voyage Barbie.
And on the balcony just before we sailed…
Barbie enjoying a chocolate chip muffin for breakfast on the balcony
[Yes, that is a choc chip muffin she’s holding].

Barbie in Key West
Our first stop was Key West where we WALKED for miles (it seemed) to reach the
SOUTHERNMOST POINT
OF THE CONTINENTAL U.S.A.
It was SO hot in Key West that Barbie broke a sweat.
Before we made it back to the ship, we stopped at Margaritaville and let Barbie indulge…
Stop #2 was in Bimini Bahamas.

Did I feel like an idiot carrying a Barbie doll around?
You bet.
But it was still a great time!
