Thursday was an at seat day, which meant even more relaxing and doing nothing! Again, that was the whole point of this trip and that is exactly what we did....nothing. We got up and worked out, because to me it is a luxury to work out with out kids or anything else needing to be done first. We had breakfast and then did some more soaking up the sun on the back of the boat by one of the smaller of the four pools. It was great weather.
After some relaxation, I went to a zumba class at 11, that was held in one of the lounges. The instructor was great and it was a lot of fun. After zumba, we got cleaned up and had lunch and then found some soft lounge chairs to read and relax by another one of the big pools that is like an atrium. We also enjoyed some cookies and milk for a snack.
We also got a chance to get in a nap before dinner...again. It was heaven to get a nap every day! I didn't think I would need to, but I was tired! We had dinner and then headed to the show, which was the stand up comedian again. I think his name was Juan Carlos. We had felt a little sea sick for the first time because the boat was rocking pretty good all day Thursday. We took some dramamine before dinner, which helped, but made us SO tired! So we called it an early night and went to bed after the show.
We got up early and had breakfast before getting the rest of our stuff packed and to our designated disembarkment area. We were off the boat and through customs by 8:30 and were on the road back home shortly after. We drove straight home, stopping for gas in Las Vegas and Cedar City. We made it home just after 8:30 Friday night and it was so great to see our kids! I really did miss them a lot while we were gone. Alivia had a fever for the first few days we were gone and I was worried about how she was, but she was great and they all were excited to see us! Preston was already in bed when we got home, so we didn't get to see him until the next morning when he woke up. Nick ended up working a few hours on Saturday, so he didn't see him until 11 the next morning. It was so cute to see Preston's face when he saw dad, he was so happy. You can tell he is a daddy's boy. We spent most of Saturday doing laundry from not only our cruise, but from the kids week. So it took pretty much all day, but we got it done and got all unpacked before Carson and I left for the bells concert that night. Overall, it was a great quick vacation. It was good to have some one on one time with each other without any kids. It is something we need to try and do more often. Life can get so hard and busy that it is sometimes hard to get that one on one time that couples need. We can't wait to go again on a cruise or vacation alone, as long as we can convince our families to help us out again!
