Day at Sea

Oddly enough, I don't have but 1 picture to share with you from our day at sea. It started with us sleeping in late and almost missing breakfast. Emily and I had breakfast together at Parrot Cay while Jay and Rebecca had breakfast at Beach Blanket Buffet. That was just a mix up in communication! After breakfast, we put the girls in their clubs- Rebecca was out on the sports deck while Emily's group was in Rebecca's lab. Jay and I hung out together for several hours. Later, we got the girls out and went to see Bedtime Stories. There was an Officer's Night of pin trading which was fun! Lots of great pins to chose from if you're into pin trading as we seem to be! Other than that, I really can't remember too much from that day. It was a slow and relaxing day, something Jay doesn't have very often.

The first evening of the cruise, we went to dinner and to our surprise, they paired us up with another family. We weren't expecting that because unlike other cruise lines, Disney doesn't usually have more than one family per table. It was great though. We found out that the couple sitting with us was from our home state. The husband grew up here in our county, graduating from the same high school as my sister and now lives in Newport News where Jay grew up. Since we are familiar with both areas, we had lots to talk about. It took Emily a few days to warm up (if you know Emily, this is how she is with new people) but she loved goofing off with the little girl. What was also pretty cool is that the wife works for Busch Gardens in their costume department, I believe (also a dancer and actress, too!) and was able to give us some cool inside info on B.G. now that they've been sold to InBev.
