Return from Vacation

Cami and I just gt back from our Cruise and had a great time.

We sailed on the Royal Caribbean “Freedom of the Seas” ship. It was absolutely huge and amazing. Such a fun trip.

We went to Utah first to drop the kids off at Papa and Juju’s house so that they could have fun there with everyone while Cami and I went alone. We were gone for 7 days (April 20 – 27), then we returned back to Utah and stayed another few days there.

I am going to post for about the cruise this weekend, and a little more about the trip to Utah and our experiences in the Doctor’s office (which if you have seen Cami’s Blog, she talks about Spencer and Clay and our 2 trips to the Urgent Care on the same day). That’s life with the boys.

On the cruise we had three stops. First in San Juan, Puerto Rico, second in St Thomas and third in St Maarten (the best by far). The cruise ship is the biggest in the world (according to everyone on board) and had everything you could want. Tons of free food, a Rock Climbing wall, a FlowRider, a mini golf course, a movie theatre, a shopping strip, an ice skating rink, a couple productions stages, a golf simulator, a huge exercise and work out gym, a boxing ring, an art gallery, a casino and a bunch of bars and lounges. A few of those things we could have done without, but for the most part it was really great.

At the end of the cruise, they showed a “Cruise in Review” DVD that they sold and I was famous and made it onto the DVD from my sweet skills on the Flowrider (to bad it was of me wiping out and they played it on loop 4 or 5 times in a row). Oh well, like I said, I will post more detail later this weekend.

As for a few pictures of the cruise, here are some.

Here we are with the Freedom of the Seas. There are 13 decks on the ship and our room was on the 7th floor. We were talking to the personal trainers on board and they told us that the average person gains 2 lbs per day while cruising, so we decided to take the stairs everywhere we went.

It is an odd feeling to be on board for two days straight and not see any land. You feel kind of vulnerable, especially looking over the side of the boat when it is completely dark outside. It was great and the water that far out is some amazing colors of blue.

One night we went to a disco party, and these are the cloths we wore. Pretty groovy.

Cami and I took on the rock wall, and this is Cami in action. It is a lot harder then it looks.

Here is the famous FlowRider. Don’t be fooled by how it looks like I know what I am doing. This is about 1 second after I stood up and about a half a second before I ate it.  Some of the guys on board got pretty good at it, but I didn’t spend too much time there.
