Cruisin' Through the Memories

 

All in all, this was one of our all time favorite vacations. I thought I would talk about the main highlights. 

#1 - The food! As you may realize, we were on a boat that had 24 hour access to delicious food. Of course, I could not stop eating all the fresh fruit...and ice cream!

 

 #2 - My handsome husband. He is the best person to travel with. He always has such a great selection of music on his i-pod,  wonderful attitude, and thinks I am super funny (even though I know I'm not). I love being around this man.

 

 #3- The views. We would wake up each morning and hang out on our balcony. The views of the ocean and islands on the horizon were spectacular.

 

 #4 - Beating to our own drum. When we were in St. Martten we literally explored the island by ourselves.I'm glad we enjoyed each others company and did what we wanted.

 

#5 - Always scoping out strangers to take photos. Why not? When you return home, you are so glad you did. 

 

 #6- Night Life- Each evening the boat would have entertainment from the staff. One night we rented movies in our room, another we walked around the ship, regardless of what we did...we had fun.

 

#7- One of the biggest reasons we went on this trip was to hear and meet Dr. Wayne Dyer. He was on the ship and was able to speak a couple of times. We went to see him of course. He is one of Scott's favorite authors. The funniest thing happened during his talk (in front of 1,000 people). He was giving away his children's books and asked if anyone in the audience was pregnant. I didn't raise my hand of course since we had not told a soul except our parents. Well 30 seconds later no one had raised their hands either! Well I decided to share the great news with our closest strangers! He gave us 4 books, then signed them. We are able to say our first baby gift we received was from Dr. Wayne Dyer. The rest of the trip complete strangers touched my tummy and asked how I was feeling! : )

 

 #8- Dessert! If you know me, you know I have a sweet tooth. The picture above and below are cakes, fudge, candy...you name it. The whole top deck was dessert night (at mid-night) one evening. Scott and I wouldn't have missed it.

 

 #9 - The arrival home was bitter sweet. This is the morning we docked in Florida. It was such a gorgeous morning. I was so thankful to have made it home safe and sound.

 

#10- Once we made it to the airport, we realized Oklahoma had a snowstorm 4 out of 7 days that we were gone. Even though I still took them as vacation days, it was refreshing to know we didn't miss much! Cheers to our winter-get-away! We have always wanted to get away "someday" when it's bitter cold at home, but we could go lay in the tropics.
