Cruise #1!!

As you know, I am the queen of pictures, so this is just round one!! We had such a great time on our cruise...we went with my Dad and Mama C, Aunt Red and Uncle Clint and our new friends Dick and Patty. It was a blast. Day one we got on the boat and went to the "Sail Away" deck party. So much fun...it was cool to watch Ft. Lauderdale fade into the distance ;D. The next day was at sea, so we got our lounge chairs and chilled out in the sun all afternoon. That night was our first formal night and the captians cocktail party, so we went to that and got our picture taken with the Commodore. And got some free drinks!! Love the pink champagne! :D After that, we headed to dinner and a few shows. Tuesday we another day at sea...so great to have some relaxation time! Wednesday we woke up in St. Maarten and headed out for our shore excursion...racing on Americas Cup boats!! It was so much fun...our boat won! Then we went into the town for some shopping. That night, we had the Island Night Deck Party...dad had been looking forward to it all week! It was a blast. Lots of good music...as you can see, dad worked hard on his patented *Scraping the Barrel* move! ;D At the end, they shot off streamers, and Josh was so sweaty they all stuck to his head...pretty funny. The waiters were bringing him more to stick on! So, that was the first 1/2 of the week!!
