The End!

Ok I seriously have to finish up with cruise stuff because I’m getting behind! Maybe I should just have a real journal instead of using a blog as a journal. Hmm.. Anywho. Belly flop contest, laying out (I’ll spare you those pictures), sunset on the deck, midnight buffet, crazy fun wait staff, casino night, dressing up, and clubbing! This trip was so fun and I LOVED seeing my old friends. 

Thanks Janae for letting me borrow dresses because I had nothing fancy and my old prom dresses are who knows where, thanks G&G B, Mindy and Janae for watching Bode! You guys are the best.

p.s. for the record Clint told me Bode was amazing and didn’t even miss me.

Cruise Days 2 & 3

SO the second day of the cruise we went to Coco Cay. It’s a private island owned by Royal Caribbean and so amazing! There is no place for the ship to dock, so everyone ferries into the island. The water was clear, blue and so pretty.  Besides clouds, a bit of rain and wind it was good weather most of the day! They served us a yummy bbq on the beach and we enjoyed coco locos! It’s an island drink kind of like a pina colada but with orange juice and other stuff added in. So yummy.

 

This picture below is the entire island.

Day 3 we ported in Nassau. The weather was so crappy! We danced until almost 2am the night before, so after breakfast we all napped. Once we got off in Nassau we shopped and checked out some of the sites. The straw market was something else. People harass you to buy stuff and it’s kind of annoying! It was pouring down rain and the wind was so strong. We got the worst of the weather when we were visiting Atlantis. I wish it would have been nicer so we could have gone to the public beach. Oh well!

Our Indian waiter loved us and so he was at our table a lot showing us tricks. All of our dinners were fun!

I’ve been CRAZY busy ever since I got back home! Hopefully I’ll finish up before Bode and I fly to Seattle on Tuesday. :)

Cruise Day 1

So I flew by myself to Orlando to meet up with my good ole KY friends. I was kind of nervous that it had been 7 years since we roomed together and thing might be different now. They weren’t! The second I saw them all that anxiousness went away and we picked back up where we left off all those years ago. We stayed in a hotel the first night, then boarded the cruise ship the next day. I can’t believe how big it was! This was my first cruise, and I loved it. I guess it’s not for everyone, but I will be cruising again!

This picture is kind of crappy, but I tried my best to sneak a picture in the photo gallery because I would never pay $20 for it!

Kristen and I shared a small room and we had a small door dividing the other girl’s room. We didn’t spend a whole lot of time in the room besides getting ready and sleeping anyway.

I looked through our window and said, “Ahh! The open Sea!” Kristen made fun of me for days. Below is all of us ready to go to dinner. Most of my pictures from the trip are with the self timer, reflections off stuff, pictures of pictures, in bad lighting, on auto, through a foggy lens (dang humidity) or other people taking them! SO basically they all are blurry or bad in some way. Oh well! I had soooo much fun!!!!!

Ashley, Kristen, Andrea, and Me.

Day 2 to come!
