Away we go!!

Tuesday, September 13, 2011
Due to the tropical storm, we had to board the boat late.. like around 11;30 pm.. when we were suppose to board at 3 pm.. But we all were just thankful to be getting on board! It wasn't raining but it was a little windy outside!


Here we are waiting in line for to board the boat.. At this point, we were given our room keys and information about the boat.

On we go!!!!!!


Were on the boat!!!

The first thing we our carry on luggage put away and we headed straight to the dining room for food. We all looked like crap because of the long day we had... but none of us cared.. we just wanted food!!



When we got to the dining room, Mom and Don were already there!

So that's who we sat with of course!


Time to get some food!!


Scott started off with a small plate of guacamole and salsa..


I got some yummy tomato soup to start.. The hotel room the night before was really cold and I got a small chest cold and soup just sounded right!


Here we are!


Husby being silly!

Ok.. here is a better picture!


The dining room began filling up as more people boarded the boat.


My dinner. The flat iron steak.


Scott got the same thing!


Scott's dessert! A chocolate melting cake and ice cream.

Don got a orange cake dessert.


Mom and I both got the creme brulee.. yum!!

Still at port at this time!

Checking out the putt putt area!


Very top of the boat!


Where its kid free!!


back in the room we came!

And before we knew it, we were both sound asleep after such a long day!


And when we woke up we were at Sea!

So we headed down to the dining room to get some breakfast. Pretty view huh!?


Having coffee and waiting on our breakfast..

Scotts yummy breakfast!

My breakfast!!

After breakfast it wasn't long until we were

in the roam lounge waiting to play bingo!

It filled up pretty well


$ 40.00 in bingo stuff.. and we didnt win!! Mom and Don didn't win either.. I do think mom won some $ on a pulltab.. but can't remember how much she won!


In the mean time we were exploring the ship.. including moms room with a balcony!

Thats an oil rig way out there!

The ocean is so beautiful..


The lido deck was packed!!


and the slide was open!


And all the pools were open too.. I think there were a total of 4 pools on the boat plus hot tubs!


People waiting in line for lunch.. There were tons of different places to eat on the lido deck.

But we choose...

The Asian Buffet..


The food smelled really good!


We saw Mom and Don and they ended up joining us.. Thats my food right there at the front of the picture.. It was great!!!!!!!!!!

Mom had already been into the wine at this point and was pretty funny! I shot this video and thought it was freaking hilarious!!


Tooo funny!


Agian we had a good view at lunch!


I ended up getting a blow fish drink!


And I loved it! It had some fruity drink in it!!

After lunch we decided to get some sun!


We found some chairs right in front of the pool and we just sat back


and enjoyed the weather.. and Scott was enjoying a ice cream!







Here comes laci!

Scott and I played around for a while and then ended up dozing off. We didn't have real long because we had early dining so dinner was at 6 pm.. and this dinner - our first real dinner - was formal night. We all were kinda surprised it came so early into the cruise.. but we all got cleaned up and headed to the dining room. Our group was so large that we had to kinda break up the seating! So Laci, Matt, Scott and I sat our own table!


Laci and Matt!

Another one of my favorite pictures.. This picture has the 2 biggest influences in my life in it.. Don't get mad Brittany!! Mommy loves you and Jackson very much!! But.. grown up wise.. These two help me in every aspect of my life.. Really blessed with them both..

I dont know why I didn't get a picture of Mom and Don.. But I didn't.. But I did get something a little better..

Take a look!!
Was that sweet or what!?


Me and baby smiling for the camera!

My starter.. Gosh.. I am hungry right now and soooo wish I had this in front of me. This is spaghetti carbaronara.. and it was to die for..


Scott started of with a shrimp starter.


Scott got the prime rib..


And I got the lobster and shrimp.. Actually I got  2 plates of this meal because it was so good!


This time I got a cappuccino and one of those yummy chocolate melting cakes!


And Scott got another chocolate melting cake.. He loved it!!

We all finished dinner and afterwards had a ton of pictures taken.. Many that I have already shown you! If you didn't see them you can click → HERE ← to check them out.. I have a few others I have to add to it.. but there are a lot on that post!! Anyway, after all that.. we head back to our room and our bed was turned down with some yummy chocolate and this


 adorable elephant towel sitting on our bed waiting to greet us!

We changed our clothes and headed out to have some fun..


in the casino.. I am not a gambler.. Just hate to loose money.. but Scott and Mom was having some fun at the blackjack table. And then didn't mind me taking pictures! Yay!!

After that we headed to the comedy show..


with


Matt and Laci!


Here we are!


It was a packed house!

I couldn't take pictures or videos of most of the shows. The comedian we saw was Donnel Keith Grey and he was pretty funny!

We got back to our room and Scott


passed right out. He just isn't use to staying up late! So I put


a movie in.. Bet most of you guys can figure out what I was watching from this picture above!! Sorry about the flash.. I was tired.. wasn't really worried about it at the time..

I got the late night munchies so I had to call room service and get some food!!

It came a few minutes later!


Grilled cheese.. and it was amazing!


and chocolate cake!


I didn't get many pictures of our room for what ever reason.. but here is a shot from sitting on the bed looking towards the door. The bathroom is on the right and closets on the left. And there was the dresser area on the left with all the stuff on it. I pulled a table across the room to put the computer on..

I ate.. and before long..


was snuggled up to baby for some sleep!

Here we come Mexico!!

Stay tuned for more!
