He even took a selfie of himself!
So boys how did you like this excursion.... the smiles says it all! It got rave reviews.
aww so breath taking.. I wanna go back.
Everyone was in a great mood going back... see told ya the rum punch was GOOD!
Taxi's back were few and far between. So we started walking as a group. Then flagged a taxi down, where we crammed in like sardines. Which made for fun times and lots of laughter... except for E.. who was worried that we wouldnt get to shop soon and he would miss out on an Aruba tshirt.
No worries, we made it back to the main shopping area, where he went into what seems like EVERY SINGLE STORE. Until he found the PERFECT ONE. At one point he just took off leaving the boys and I on a bench.
We people watched for a while. then we did some shopping ourselves. Eventually E found 2 shirts (seriously this man is going to need a closet just for his vacation shirts soon) and met back up with us.
It was really hot out so I stopped in a lil bar and got the boys sodas and beers for E and I.
We walked back to the pier enjoying our time and people watching, he's not the Dos XX man, but he's cute enough to be the face of Balashi!
Then we saw a Mojito stand, low and behold they had all the flavors still. So I got a strawberry, or watermelon, or rasberry.. something red LOL Which yes P got a sip... then momma took it over. But momma should have stopped at the beer, and remembered she's not as young as she used to be.
We kept walked and bumping into "friends" along the way. Everyones so friendly on vacation. Going back to the ships you walk thru their shopping area. I thought I took pics but nada. I think I was enjoying the mojito.
Seeing the ship from our long walk back (ok it wasnt that long) was happy joy.
Until we noticed how long the line was to get back on ship. Yup, Im feeling GREAT here... for now...
Good thing I had a beverage to keep me cool while we walked to get on board.
Its like doing the walk of shame, no shame just took forever, since they only had 1 door open.
Back on board I had gotten parched again so while the boys showered, I popped open a beer. With plenty of time to wait for RUNNERS.. my favorite pastime.
Except, after showering and changing... I remember thinking man that bed looks so comfy. Thats all I remember. The boys said I passed out, seee Rum Punch good! Mojito, good! Beers GOOD!! Mom OLD! lol.
Of all people E stayed out on the balcony to take pics of us leaving. He rarely takes pics, unless its of his truck or the Dallas Cowboys (EWWW, PUKE LOL)
But I have to say he did good this time.
I was (and still am) so sad to have missed sailaway from our last port. But I guess early mornings, mixed with lots of rum, swimming and sun make a gal tired.
I woke up a bit later, to find the boys were leaving us again. So E and I grabbed another beer and went exploring before dinner. All week he had saw this pic of his "american girl" so finally I said stand by your lady and got a pic of him with her.
Of course we had to get the obligitory Frog Wanted pic taken.
Thinking this would make good xmas pics LOL.
He's like a kid at times, but instead of the kid saying look at me, watch me. He says take a pic of me, take a pic of that.
With time to still waste, I talked E into taking a cheesy couple of pics.
Told you they were cheesy
Then all of a sudden J runs into our pics.
He was on his way to meet up with friends. This would have been a great one had P been around.
I couldnt help but have us take a pic with this background and our beverages.
I wanted to try and get our picture on the wall of fame (plus it would be free). I tried to take one with my phone but the photographer said no.... (really did he think I was going to buy this??)
But he let J do a selfie. (see this is why they need to allow all photo's on a CD. No one in their right mind will buy a picture of this. I mean I love J and all but not enough to spend $20 on a pic of him taking a selfie LOL)
After this picture, J ditched us and we headed to dinner. While waiting for the doors to open we bumped into our friends from Curacuo. They asked where the boys were and we told them we were on our own again. They were getting ready to eat also as they were on the lower level of the dinning room. So we asked if they would like to join us.
It then became a double date!
I had been looking forward to dinner tonight as it had my favorite appitizer...
no this part of the menu isnt my favorite lol.... wait for it...
wait for it ... (this was just E taking a picture of the bread plate, ok he also takes pics of anything Texas related as thats where he's from.)
Nope not my favorite but it sounded good so I got the meatballs.
Escargots!!!!!!! Yup I ordered 2. When they changed to the American menu, I was worried they wouldnt have it. As its the one food I look forward to on a cruise.
E of course had the Cesar salad.
our favorite waiter came by with shots... I cant remember what they were this time... but we got 2.
Cheers?
To new friends! Miss ya!
Dessert time!
I had the Chocolate Panna Cotta... yummy.
and you know E.... WCMC
When dinner was over we all walked over to the theater to catch the variety show. It was semi funny but enjoyable to watch.
When that was over we went to the Comedy Show (So to the back of the ship for dinner, to the front for the show, and again to the back for the comedy show.. talk about getting your steps in). I ordered a limelight special YUM. We took seats almost behind the stage since it was packed, good thing there is a TV to the right to semi watch expressions of the comedians.. They really need to move the comedy show into the larger theater. Seeing as how it is always packed, and the main theater... isnt!
After lots of belly aching laughter, we parted ways and headed to bed. Well the room since I was on wait till the boys get home duty.Seeing as we had a sea day tmrw, they had an even later curfew.... which meant I got to stay up and wait for them even later. I posted more look at me on vacation pics along with got on the hub and our cruise thread to see what everyone was planning for tmrw. But I think they were already asleep, Once the boys came in I did the same!
