Greek Cruise - First Sea Days

Monday

We made it to the Cruise ship by about 2:00pm. As soon as we entered the cruise ship lobby, Matt said, “This is doper than I thought! This is insane.” It’s so exciting to be on the ship.

We headed straight to our emergency muster station and then to our rooms. The boys are next to us with adjoining rooms. Our rooms are inside staterooms this time but they are cute and organized. Ryan and Cassie are nearby and the girls are down the hallway.

We changed into our bathing suits and then headed upstairs to the buffet. Salad and Cesar salad for me. We got chairs by the pool, sat in the hot tub and laid in the sun. 

Afternoon Nap.  😴 Then got ready for dinner and headed to deck 9 to take some pictures. We ate in the dining room around a large table. We had fun asking questions about our favorite TSwift albums and love languages. We decided that Dad is quality time and words of affirmation. I am words of affirmation and physical touch. (I used to be Acts of Service but not as much now that the kids are older). Ryan is quality time and words of affirmation. Same with Cassie. Katie and Meg are words of affirmation and physical touch. Em is words of affirmation and I can’t remember the other one. Luke had a hard time deciding what he was. Quality time for sure. We didn’t think he was physical touch but he thinks he might be. Matt is quality time and physical touch. Fun to talk about it and learn about everyone even a little bit more. 

After dinner we headed to the Magic show — which was SO good. So fun to be here all together.

Love all my girls!

Luke is getting so tall these days. He’s almost as tall as Ryan.


Tuesday Sea Day

Worked out at the gym with dad and Katie. Treadmill and AB’s.  Grabbed a little plate of fruit from the Spa pool area and changed into bathing suits. We played games, read, swam, ate and started our 7 Wonders game tournament. Such a fun day. Everyone happy to do whatever they wanted. So fun to have limited cell phone service. It’s the best.

At dinner around the large table we talked about what we wanted for a future new house

  • Emily-, beautiful library with floor to ceiling, bookshelves and a sliding ladder, gym with lots of fun machines, and pool. 

  • Luke- a parkour gym with lots of trampolines and a foam pit, a giant, 10 foot deep pool with diving boards, and a big cliffs to jump off of, and huge work out gym.

  • Lisa - beautiful kitchen and butlers pantry, pool and outdoor fire pit area. 

  • Chris -a gym with a sauna, movie theater, and golf simulator

  • Ryan - ultimate library, secret room, theater room

  • Cassie - curved turret library, gorgeous backyard with pool, theater room with twinkling star lights 

  • Matt - full court gym with pickle ball lines, golf simulator, huge trampoline park 

Matt was determined to try escargo and not only did he try it - he went for a second. Nice job Matt!

After dinner we headed to the Singers and dancers show - the last song was a Pitch Perfect medley and it was so good.
