We had the best time! We were on the cruise with our good friends: Haley and Ryan, Ashley, Jenny, Kim and Tandice...Ha! I mean, Tim and Candice. The best thing about a cruise is that you can do whatever you want, whenever you want. It was nice to wake up in the morning and run into someone you know at breakfast. Our favorite part was the 'family' dinners. Not necessarily the food, but the company! We went to a comedy show, which was surprisingly good, we competed in some of the games, we had massages and spent a lot of time relaxing by the pool!
Pat and his usual lunch, Mongolian!
(We had to race back from the beach
in Nassau so Pat could get this.)
All dressed up for dinner.
After Tim and Candice announced they had made it to the finals for the black jack tournament, everyone else decided to enter also. Ryan tried to beat out Haley but she came out on top and the final round included Tim, Pat and Haley. Now, I'm not a gambler but it is exciting to watch, especially when you know half of the players! After a good fight (or winning by default) Pat was the champion!!! He won $500! It was so exciting!
Pat and Haley in deep concentration.
The leader board!
It didn't matter who won...
Look at Haley, if you didn't know any better
you would think it was her!!
The Champion
Freeport:
Nassau:
Pat bought this bamboo "ukulele" from a Bahamanian.
They started out $40 a piece. Pat got 3 of $20??!!
He put on a concert that led to a surprising applause
from the few people on the beach.
It might be hard to see but Pat is body surfing that wave and they were HUGE!!
Jenny and her sand flip flops!
Haley and I were trying to model our new sarongs...
I told you the waves were huge!
The Waterworks:
On your mark, get set, GO....
Ryan is the winner!!
More Boat Fun:
Pat in the Michael Jackson dance off
I've never seen Michael Jackson do that?!
I guess that's why he didn't win.
The Beatles show was great!!
