Here we are at the lifeboat drill. Those life vests are quite uncomfortable to wear. We had a great time aboard the Paradise! The weather was nice most of the time and we sure packed a lot of activities into a short trip. Sammie LOVED being on the boat. The food was wonderful and all of the activities on the ship were fantastic too! I was first place in the finals in a blackjack tournament but didn't win in the end. Boo hoo. It was for $500. We saw 2 excellent "Vegas style" shows and 2 hilarious comedy shows. We met some really nice people at our dinner table which was enjoyable. Sammie spent some time at Camp Carnival for kids. She loved it. They had all kinds of toys, games, art projects and movies and snacks. They made memory books, did "build a bear", colored t-shirts, and a canvas backpack. On Saturday we went to Ensenada to a place called "La Bufadora" which means "blowhole" in Spanish. There are only 3 natural blowholes in the world. (a cliff where water splashes up in between causing a huge poof of water high up into the air) There is one in Hawaii, Austrailia and Ensenada. Sammie really loved watching the water splash up into the air. We ate authentic "churros" and shopped at the marketplace. That night was formal night so we all got dressed up fancy. On Sunday we layed out by the pool but it was a little overcast so it made the pool water very cold. Sammie and Brad went in but not me. I just relaxed on a lounge chair! My mom and dad were with us too and they had a great time as well. Sammie performed in the Camp Carnival talent show. She was the youngest performer. She sang the "ABC"'s which was hilarious and we couldn't get the microphone out of her hands! ( Just like her great grandfather, and her namesake, "Sam") She did an encore performance! We were all laughing hysterically!
The only bummer was after we got home, I was sick. I wore a seasickness patch to avoid getting woozy on the boat and when i got home and removed the patch, that's what happened! My equilibrium was off and i felt like i was still rocking for like 3 days.. uggghhh I have used that patch before and never had a problem, not to mention that I grew up having boats as a kid but I guess it is old age... boo hooo hooo..
I think I am over it all now and looking forward to my next trip to CHA in Chicago!
YIPPEE.. I am so excited! Bye for now!
