Senior Cruise Part 3!

The days start blurring right about here! We had a sea/fun day on ship the 4th and 6th day....

which consisted of sleeping in, laying by the pool, reading my book, playing games, having tea time and all the things. It was nice. I didnt take many picture on these!

Day 5 was the Dominican Republic! Amber's Cove! It was so beautiful! I have never been to the Dominican and it was wonderful!

On the sea/fun days.................you could find me here!

The casual dinner nights!.................with this crazy crew!

And Alexis could be found doing things like this!...........

Or like this!............a huge 80's dance party!

Then............welcome to the Dominican Republic! So beautiful! Jurassic Park films were all done here and I can see why with how lush it was!

It was like we were in a fancy resort all day!

Meanwhile, Alexis did this high up in the sky!

Took some amazing and fun pictures!

My favorite!

I mean, it is my name!!

My girl and I!

We explored and saw some real Amber! So cool! And some beautiful waterfalls!

Just so beautiful!

Got back on the ship...............cleaned up and had another fun dinner................shows......etc! The 7th day was full of getting off the ship and the trek back home! We had a wonderful time and so glad we all got to do this with each other! 20 Seniors and all their parents/chaperones...........made it back to Jacksonville!

Senior Cruise Part 2!

So the 3rd day was another port stop and also still in the Bahamas at their private island called Half Moon Bay.

The beach was amazing! It was so beautiful, like the water was not real at all!

We enjoyed lounging by the ocean and the water was so perfectly clear and the perfect temp too!

Alexis and a group of her friends went horseback riding along the beach and in the ocean. That was an adventure! ha! She said she had fun but that it was an experience with the horses pooping so much and trying to bite each other! ha!

On this day, we couldnt just walk off the ship, we had to be tendered because the port was not fully built yet. So, that took some time but before we knew it....

We were standing in this water!

It was soooo nice!

My view for the rest of the day! Perfection!

KeAshia came and got Alexis and they set off on their fun horse adventure!

This crew made the best memories!

Meet the girls and their horses!

Alexis had a blast!

I mean..........look at this view!

Once done for the day, we cleaned up and this was our dinner view!

Then Alexis disappeared from me and did Silent Disco, which she said was soooo much fun!....

While I did this with this crew!

The game shows, dancing shows and comedy shows did not disappoint! Day 3 was great!

Alexis' Senior Cruise!

Whew, we just got back. Sunday was full of trying to get my life together, unpack, laundry, putting up........all the things and then today.......BAM...back to work and life! ha!

We had a great trip! It was long, and a lot of action, hardly any sleep/rest, but so many laughs and memories and a trip that I know will forever hold a special place for both of us! I am glad that I got to go with her and her have fun with her friends and enjoy her graduation from high school!

Welcome to Part 1! This is the first day and 2nd day!

We headed down early Saturday morning and made the trek there. We got there around 4:00 and unloaded and then there was a very nice shopping outlet so Alexis and I went shopping before meeting the group staying at the same hotel for dinner later on. It was a fun way to start the trip!

Then Sunday we were up bright and early to get on the ship! This was the sailing away party! We were all soooooooo ready!

That afternoon and night was pretty low-key because everyone was getting on and unpacking/getting settled at all different times. So, I didnt see Alexis much the rest of this day!

Our first Port day, was Celebration Key, private island in the Bahamas! It as so gorgeous! This was our main crew that we hung with though I bounced around to some other family groups and Alexis hung with her girlfriends a lot throughout the trip too.

Our ship!

Celebration Key was so fun!

We hung here! They had huge pools and shopping and slides........tons of food and fun music. I didnt move from this spot!

Except to hit the pool. I just happened to see Alexis come by and snagged a picture!

Back on the ship was formal night so Alexis ate with 'the crew' before leaving me for her friends. So, I got a picture! ha!

Not in the correct order, but found her with some of her friends!

This was right before we ate! She left us and so did the other Alexis and her friend Carly...and Nick and they had fun. Meanwhile Tammy.......and the other lady, Stephanie and I enjoyed a show and hanging out........which is what we did pretty much the whole trip! ha! Stay tuned for Part 2!
