Cruise

We just went with our neighbors, Casey & Mandy Childs on a cruise. We left from Los Angeles and stopped at San Diego, Catalina & Ensanada. It was so much fun!
We were gone for 5 days and 4 nights and it was very much needed!

All dressed up for formal night dinner.





















So, we all decided one night at midnight to order room service. We tried almost everything they offered as you can see. It was so good, but a bit embarrassing when the man came to bring it and saw all that food was for 4 of us!! What are cruises for though........to EAT!!!


This was our ship. Royal Caribbean's Monarch of the Seas.
One night at dinner, the waiter was looking for someone to dance with him and nobody would. So, he heads right for me and grabs my hand. I was a good sport and danced in front of about 75 people......For any of you that know me, I don't dance so this was a big thing for me. I am glad you didn't see it!

On the deck of the ship.....AHHH!!!!
They let us have a turn at driving the ship for a bit!! =-)
Tim wanted to ride in this "carriage" along the beach in San Diego. A guy was riding the bike and pulling us behind. It was fun and very relaxing!
Our last dinner on the cruise we pigged out. Tim & Casey had two main dishes and we all had way more than we should have.
All of us getting ready to snorkel. It was COLD water, but we still saw a lot of neat things. I saw a lobster for the first time while snorkeling.
