Cruise-Day 1

Well I figured it was about time to start posting pictures from the cruise Spencer and I went on at the end of May. It was our 1 year anniversary vacation and we had so much fun. We had been looking at cruises for months but didn't end up booking it until about 2 weeks before we were supposed to leave. Fortunately I had already gone to get my passport and Spencer already had his from his Brazil adventures. : ) I've decided I like to plan vacations only a week or two in advance. I don't like to anticipate vacations months in advance.


When we got home from the cruise we immediately started looking at more cruises for the near future. We're addicted to vacation, it just never seems like we get enough of it!


I've been soooooo slow to put up pictures because we took over 2,000 pictures during our 7 day cruise. Too many? I don't think so. You can NEVER have too many pictures. So overwhelming that it makes you avoid blogging them? YES, especially when you take 3 different cameras and all of the pictures are out of order. BUT...this is my attempt to get them in order and show you how much fun we had.


We'll start with Day 1 of the cruise. On Day 1 we boarded the boat around 2p.m. It didn't leave until 4p.m. but that gave us some time to settle in and check out our room. We were on the Carnival Magic. It's one of the newest ships (only a year old) and it's Carnivals biggest..so that was cool! Of course once we checked out our room we went to check out the buffet lines. Our first meals were burritos. YUMMMMY. I'm not going to lie, I didn't have ONE bad meal on this boat. NOT ONE.

Saying goodbye to Galveston. Galveston, we will not miss you...

Spencer was soooo excited to have packed a weeks worth of Monsters in his suitcase. We knew something went wrong when they delivered his suitcase to our room and it reeked of Monster energy drink. He opened up his suitcase to find most of his clothes wet, and stained yellow from the Monsters that has been crushed from suitcases being piled on top of each other. Lucky for us we got to spend a few hours 2 days later doing laundry. : )

Here we are at dinner the first night...we look tired. It was a long day. 

Mr. Healthy:

AND Mrs. not so healthy:

And of course not so healthy dessert.

Found the picture they made us take while boarding the ship. We were nice and sweaty, and SO excited to take a picture! HA...we laughed because the pictures didn't turn out all that bad. Still wasn't worth buying, so I took a picture of it instead. : )

Went to the theatre for a show:

We both did a couple of slot machines just because we could. : )

We took a stroll around the boat and Talladega Nights was on! We only watched it for a bit.

And this is evidence of our midnight ice cream trips...pretty much EVERY night. We both went into ice cream withdraws when we got home from the cruise. LOL...Sad I know. We were truly addicted. Spencer's goal was to make it as high as he could. You'll notice throughout the trip they get bigger. He got a few laughs every time we would get ice cream.

Well that's all I have for Day 1. Stay posted for more cruise posts!
