Cruisin'

My first cruise experience: Pretty Dang Good.

Emily, Katelyn and I went together and we had so much fun! A well needed and deserved trip for us! There was so much to do all the time and the food was fantastic and plentiful. I have become very accustomed to 3 course meals...every meal!

We had the cutest waiters!
The Bahamas!
Day 1: Found a sketchy place to park the car, jumped in a shuttle over to our port in a van that was falling apart. We were late by about ten minutes, but we made it on the ship! Anxiety running high? Oh, yes...first cruise, late-almost didn't make it, middle of the ocean, dizzy...you get the idea. We explored the ship, enjoyed the sun, and had a lovely dinner. We started to settle in and went salsa dancing with a little
 "Brazilian teacher" in very tight jeans.

Day 2: Bahamas! Went to the market, played at the beach, caught up on some sleep-nap, and relaxed. It was a full moon that night so the ocean was so bright! Formal night! A comedian and a musical performance.

Day 3: Coco Cay! My favorite morning, as I did yoga on the beach with a beautiful boy from London in the rain! It was brilliant! Still in love. Found a hammock, or as Emily would say, "ham-mock," and layed for...awhile. This is where we were also corrected by a lifeguard that our "boat" as we called it, is a "SHIP!" Our bad...it's a ship apparently. Watched the belly-flop competition, enjoyed the sunset, and went to bed early.

Day 4: Key West! What a beautiful little city. I really loved it there and would love to go again. We became jewelry snobs and snagged some free pearl earrings! more sleeping, laying out, reading and such. Our last dinner with our cute waiters we love so much. Emm rocked some karaoke! Then we played Quest-an adult only game where we split into teams and compete in a human scavenger hunt. This is where we met our darling Ukrainian boys who I might still be in love with! The five of us had so much fun and spent the rest of the night together dancing and such.

My favorite statue-thingy in Key West!
Day 5: Had breakfast with our cute Ukrainians and sadly had to get off the ship! It was a great trip and an amazing time with the girls. Love you!
The cute Ukranians!
