Cruise 2010

Troy and I went on a cruise the first week of March with 8 other couples. We had 4 days at sea and we had 3 ports, Coco Cay Bahamas, St. Thomas and St. Maarten. We had the greatest time ever. Our trip started out by flying into Florida on Friday. When we arrived late Friday night we were with Travis, Susan, Bubba and Tara and sadly Travis's luggage dd not show up. early. Since we went a day early Our plans were to go to Universal Studios on that Saturday but since it was rainy and cold (I know in Florida it was cold) but it worked out good cause we were able to rent a car and just hang out and shop ! The rest of the time we did have good weather no rain some days a little windy but nothing that a hot tub and a pina colada could not help. Some of the highlights of the trip was dancing until 3:00 Am everyday. After dancing hanging out with our Jamaica buddy " The Milk Man" to drink chocolate milk and eat lots of treats. Eating at Johnny Rockets everyday.Sitting in the hot tub for hours and hours! Pina colada's. good conversations at the dinning room table. Laughing and laughing and laughing some more all day everyday!!! I could go on and on about all the fun times but look at these pictures they tell a good story! As most of you know Troy surprised me with this curse for Christmas!! BEST present ever THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, I LOVE YOU BABE!!! Thanks to my great family for taking care of our kids so we could go. (Sorry this post is so long but I could not cut out all the fun pictures we had)

We all meet as soon as we got on the ship and hit the buffet!! We have to start out the trip right with a full stomach!



Us and the Hall's

Hanging out at our safety drill.


Margo, Lisa and I wanted a picture then we wanted to take one of the guys but look what we got below...

Butt, butt and butt! The funny part was they did not know we were going to take their picture anyways even if it was of their BUTT'S!!!


Bon Voyage!!!

And we are off to sea!!!


Jason and Lisa celebrating with us at the Bon voyage party.


Too bad Jason does not know what Troy is doing while me and Lisa are taking pictures!!!


Dinner in the dining room.

After dinner we all hit the hot tub. The Makay's, Erskin's, Jeppson's, Lybbert's, Hall's and Us.


We had to a late night Johnny Rocket's after the hot tub

MONDAY


Each day they have on the floor of the elevator the day of the week. I thought I would take a picture each day then start each day of my blog with that picture. But it is easy to lose track on time on vacation here is my perfect example. We went dancing Monday night right after we were done we went to the elevator to get the picture of Monday and it was already changed to Tuesday since it was 3:00 A.M.
The Freedom of the Sea

Me and Troy on the tender going over to Coco Cay.

Troy and Brandon were tired of pictures already and the trip just began so me Liz and I decided we would just have out picture together and leave them out of it. By the end of the trip I think had more pictures with Liz then with Troy! The joke was really on the guys after Liz and I were done with our picture together we would turn around and take one of Troy and Brandon together so they looked more like a couple then we did!!!

Cute couple.

Me, Liz and Lisa




Susan, Me, Liz, Margo, and Lisa enjoying the beach at Coco Cay.



Bubba got stung by a jelly fish he wanted Troy to pee on the sting but since it was on his ankle he decided he could do it himself. Of coarse we all had to have a picture of it. Thanks Bubba for the great picture!

A day at sea

Johnny Rockets was one of the best things about the cruise!! We ate here at least once everyday. Fries, onion rings, cheeseburgers, chili cheese fries, shakes, apple pie....How much more do I need to say??!!

The Erskin's and Mackay's enjoying Johnny's!!!

The Shocker's!!! The men getting ready for dodge ball.

Love Bubba in the back left in his speedo!! I am so glad someone remembered European Tuesday!!

Team Shocker's took the silver!! Way to go!

Here are the proud women of the silver medialist.

Troy needed to go for a swim after dodgeball.









Me and Lisa went shopping together one night with a bunch of other girls from the cruise. I was at one end of the mall and Lisa was at the other end. When we met up we each had a shirt that was totaly differant in the front and totly differant style but had this same pattern in the back. Then we both walk out of our cabins for dinner one night and we both had on our shirt!

Troy and Bubba sang "Summer Lovin" at Kareokee one night!! Glad Bubba sang the girl part Troy don't look good in pink!

Troy went and signed the girls up to sing "Dancing Queen" . Bubba was our "Queen" . What a great sport.

Troy and I on the dance floor.



Troy chillin waiting to get off in St. Thomas.

When we got off the ship in St.Thomas we found Big Timmy's Taxi. He took us to a beach that was very scary pulling in to but the water was so pretty and the beach was nice just not the parking lot or the bars around it. We hung out on the Beach for a bit then Big Timmy took us on a tour around the island then shoppng. But we all could not wait to get back on the ship and eat Johnny Rockets!


The Mackays

The Halls , Lybbert's and Erskin's

Timmy dropped us off Kmarts for some water. It's not everyday you go to Kmart in St. Thomas!

Troy does not like the ocean very much so this is as far as could get him in.

I love this picture the girls hanging out in the water then................

Here comes the wave!!

Troy and Brandon picked a lounge chair in the shade and did not move until we left the beach!! The girls want for a walk down the beach and met Margo a new boyfriend"Gordon"!

Susan, Margo and me



WOW do you think the wind was blowing???? Look at my hair can you say "out of control"???



You can see our ship over my sholder.

The 2 Amigo's




Our waiter Pedro did tricks and told us jokes every night. I don't know how this was done! Impressive!!


Self photo!

Tara and Bubba were choosen for the Newleywed game. They were great they took 2nd!!



Today we were in St. Maartins. We got off the ship and walked to a beach . We just chilled at the beach then shopped for a bit. What a fun day!







Liz, Susan, Me, Tara and Margo.



It was so hot so we decided to get in the ocean to cool down. The water was so nice and warm but the down fall was the seaweed right when you got in. After you got out there aways there was no seaweed but then we had Jason out there finding it to put it on us!!




Once again Troy and Brandon hanging out together in the shade!




Liz and I hanging out in the SUN!!!

HOTTIE!!!!

Love those shakes!!!!


Lisa, Margo, me and Liz.




Getting ready to watch the show!

The Lybbert's

The Hall's


The Morris's

Looks like shinny dresses were the thing of the night!!





Margo and I are rocking out so hard at 80's night both our arms are stuck through my necklace.

Troy was our sections team captain for "The Quest". The cruise director calls off an item and Troy had to find it from our section then take it to him to get the points. Our section won!!


The last thing to the quest was the guys had to take off their shirt put on a bra, heels and carry a purse and walk around the stage and then one at a time go out and dance in the middle of the floor!!! He was really showed off his dance moves!!

Our Jamaccan buddy Gaston. We would dance until 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning then go eat desert and have chocholate milk ( of coarse I would have a diet coke) and we would hang out with him.


Here is the gang that went dancing every night then sat and ate and ate and ate!! Us, Hall's and Morris's!



Pina Colada and hot tub so fun!!

Me, Lisa and Margo.

Pedro our waiter.
