We are home!

We are home and already dreaming of our next cruise vacation.

Our last day at sea on Wednesday was great and the best thing happened....a bunch of dolphins decided to swim along the ship. They were such cute little baby ones and they put on a good show. Sorry I do not have any pictures because I was busy trying to catch it on the video camera. Jeff even got to see some larger ones later that day as well.

I picked up the ceramic bowl I painted and it looks good (I will take a picture and post it later). I never did get to BINGO to to try my luck at the $3000 jackpot but heard it was very crowded anyway. We did do some more on board shopping that included a chaotic bargain basement sale in one of the ships dining rooms.

Our last dinner on the ship was really yummy. We had eggplant fritters and mushroom fried rice - mmmmm. Unfortunately Jeff needed to take Adam back to the cabin for a bit and once there he did not want to come back down for dessert. The assistant servers came out with flaming baked Alaska's to the Macerna on parade. I had the Love Boat for dessert (a heart shaped chocolate mouse). Too bad Jeff and Adam didn't make it back because Barb and Jim had ordered a cake and song for us to celebrate our Anniversary (June 22) but I had them send it up to Jeff and some dark cherry sorbet for Adam.

The last night was very foggy and you could not see any water around the ship which was kind of eerie along with the fog horns blaring all night - a sound I love. I woke up at 5:30 am the last morning just in time to see the Statue of Liberty as we headed into port.

Disembarkation was quite smooth. We had to be out of our room by 8:00 am but luckily we were able to relax in the Wheelhouse bar (for VIP's) until our group was called. The longshoreman that helped with our bags helped us get to the front of the lines to leave and it was a fairly smooth ride home. Adam again behaved the entire way. We stopped at Flying J/Country Buffet, Sunoco, Taco Bell , Target and Exxon Mobil.

Here are a few more pics for now.
