Day 1: Galveston, TX

On Sunday we embarked on a 7 day vacation away from home, work, and of course the kids. On our cruise ship we found access to food buffets, pools, room service, gourmet dining, and a stateroom attendant who would clean our room twice a day. We were so excited we dropped the boys off Saturday night, and Samantha couldn’t wait to start her vacation of 7 nights of sleepovers with her friends.

Day 2: At Sea

On Monday, we celebrated my birthday. This year was the birthday that never ended – it was awesome. We had a Meet & Mingle with a group of people we chatted online with before the cruise and Scott had them all sing to me. It was great to put a face to the people Scott had been communicating with. Plus now we didn’t feel alone on this huge ship.

We spent the day exploring the ship and finding the best food and views. Later that night we got all dressed up for dinner in our formal attire. Then we had some fun in the casino, and even later we went dancing. There were activities going on all day long, and it didn’t stop until way after midnight.

   
Day 3: At Sea
Even though we stayed up late the night before, we got up early for the sunrise. We had another busy day of swimming, exercising, and of course eating. We didn’t take many pictures this day because it was just a day of relaxing and doing nothing.
