Cruise 2013 Day 4

This is a Fun Day At Sea. We slept in and met Grandpa John in the Colors Lobby for a bean bag tossing tournament. Evan and Caitlyn played each othe and Caitlyn won so she got to move on. Jeremy beat the guy he was playing, John beat the guy he was playing then it was Jeremy and John. Jeremy won. Then he played Caitlyn and won. Jeremy was in the final round and lost his momentum and lost the game. Evan was really sad but it was okay.

 

We went and did TV Theme Trivia in the Amber Palace. We did not win but it was fun. Then I tried my hand a bingo and pull tabs. I won $1 so all was not lost. It was fun just to try.

 

At dinner Evan had pasta of the day and it had shrimp, salmon and mussels. He did not like it but Jeremy helped him out.

 

Dessert: Warm Chocolate melting cake, brownies and cheesecake. Seth and Cheri headed out before dessert to go celebrate there anniversary alone. It was a fun day at sea.

 

Of course a towel creation: puppy I think

Cruise 2013 Day 3

Bahamas today! The weather was so beautiful!!! We went Parasailing with Seth and Cheri in the morning. This was the first time either jeremy or myself had gone. It was amazing. It surprised us both how quiet it is up in the air. I thought the wind would make a little more sound but it did not. We got to dip our feet in after we landed.

We then met everyone else at the pier and took a cab to Ardastra Gardens. Seth and Cheri did not come with us here. We got to see so many different colored birds, plants, flowers and even a white peacock. That was the first time for one of those. They have flamingos just roaming around and they do a flamingo parade. It was a great time!

Jeremy, Caitlyn and Evan held a parrot and it kissed Jeremy and Caitlyn when they asked it too.

 

Elegant night for dinner.

 

Stingray for our towel creation.

 

A Motor City motown show. Music from the 60's, 70's and 80's. The show was wonderful and we had a great day!

Cruise 2013 day 2

We got lots of our bags packed up and ready to wait for the shuttle to take us to the Port of Miami where the Carnival Glory will be waiting for us.

Waiting in line. I am glad we got here when we did. The line got even longer!

 

On board got our Sail and Sign cards and waiting for our rooms to be ready. We had some lunch and Evan actually got dessert before dinner. Oh no!

Cruise 2013 Day 1

We had to get up really early to catch our 6:45am flight to Florida. We were super excited to be going on the cruise finally. We have been planning it for about 6 or 7 months. The gang is Jeremy, Felicia, Caitlyn, Evan, John, Joy, Jeff, Bill, Karen, Seth and Cheri. We are visiting Nassau Bahamas, St Thomas USVI, San Juan Puerto Rico and Grand Turk. We are flying down the day before so we can make sure and get to the cruise ship on time. We stayed at a hotel for the night. We saw some tiny lizzards and beautiful palm trees. We ate dinner at a mexican resturant across the street and did some shopping at Walgreens. The kids needed a late night swim. Cheri and I got up early and went to the workout room and I ran and she did the eliptical. The machines were so outdated. What a great start to the trip!
