CRUISE PART I

DAY ONE:

We left Salt Lake Int'l early on Friday Feb. 28th, too early for my liking, and set out on our long flight to Ft. Lauderdale. After eight hours or so and one stop and lay over in Chicago... we arrived!!! We caught a cab to our hotel on the beach and started celebrating. Ft. Lauderdale was a fun start to our vacation. We walked on the beach, had some dinner and waited for Jeff's sister and family to arrive. At night we walked along the beach to "Bubba Gump's" restaurant for some delish cuisine. Some other highlights from our first day were the beach at night, and wearing shorts!

DAY TWO:

Day two we woke up to a gorgeous sunrise right out our window. We flew into Ft. Lauderdale, but needed to board our ship in Miami, so we decided to hire a big stretch limo to get us there.

Once on the ship we had to check out our room, then, go for the food!
After overeating (this wouldn't be the last time either), we spent some more time exploring the ship, eating in the dining room for the first time, and checking out the shows that night. We decided to hit the hay a little early though to make sure we were ready for the next day at our first port of call.

There's always time for a family photo on the top deck :)
