Cruise Vacation--Day 3

On the third day, we stopped at Coco Cay which is Royal Caribbeans private island in the Bahamas. Andrew and I had been there on a previous cruise about 5 years prior and they have really built it up since the last time we were there. It was awesome and very relaxing. We headed out to the beach to get a little sun. After a while Andrew got fidgety so we took a long walk along the beach exploring and looking for shells. We saw a ton of fish, there were stingrays, and even a little shark! A cookout lunch on the island was provided and it was actually really good. We had remembered the food on the island to be less than appetizing before and there was a huge line to get it last time. But, they built this part of it up too and it was good and there was no line!

After lunch, we took a walked around the shops and then took a walk along one of the nature trails. I thought I spotted a little alligator but after taking a closer look we realized it was actually a HUGE iguana and there were quite a few of them! We did a little more reading and soaking up the sun then made our way back to the ship to hit the pool on board before dinner. It was a great day and very relaxing....just like the last day of vacation should be!


Look at these lizards!!!


I hope he doesn't come any closer!


After a very relaxing day and another wonderful dinner Andrew and I decided to take advantage of the nightlife the ship had to offer. We went and watched a couple of shows after dinner and then met up with another couple to watch karaoke. It was hilarious and don't worry we spared everyone and just watched! Then we went to the piano bar to watch the dueling pianos, which I just love. After all that we called it a night, we knew we had to get up at the crack of dawn and then make the 7 hour drive home.

Our last picture on the cruise together, back to the real world tomorrow!


This picture is a little blurry but its our waiters while they are singing to us during dinner. Take a close look at the napkin microphone.

Well, as you can see we had an absolutely wonderful time on our vacation. It came at an awesome time and we were able to really celebrate being together for 5 years! We can't thank Susan enough for taking care of Abigail while we were gone. Although I missed her terribly, I knew she was in good hands and having a good time with her Gramma!
