Day 7 : Fort Lauderdale

We woke up early Saturday morning and met our friends in the lounge to wait for our luggage tag color to be called so we could get off the ship. We waited for a good 2 hours or so. Luckily Ryan was more then entertaining for majority of the time. To sum it all up he told us he wants to be a jobless deadbeat (had to be there to get it! We all were staying in a hotel in Fort Lauderdale that night so we didn't have to rush to the airport til the next morning. We unboarded the ship and got a shuttle to our hotel close by. We got there a little early and our rooms weren't ready so we all took a walk to the grocery store to pick up snacks and waste some time. Got to the hotel and our rooms were ready. From about 12pm to 5pm Shelley and I stayed in bed watching movies in the room, napping, drinking soda,and eating snacks. My mom went to join our family friends around 3pm. It was a little rainy that day and the sun wasn't out so laying by the pool wasn't in the cards. Around 5 pm we went to explore the pool area and found the most amazing warm pool. Then we walked around and found everyone else we were with.. They were in their room watching all the cruise ships pull out from the port from the little deck. Too funny! We grabbed Ryan and grabbed some dinner next to the hotel. Then headed back to do some night swimming. My mom was watching Garrett so we got both the boys ready and Shells and I swam with them for a while. Such a great night!

I was teaching Ryan how to play chicken

My mom took all the other pictures but after they took the boys in to go to bed Shelley and I wanted a picture by the waterfall so she was trying to set her timer. She would hit the button, jump in the water, then have to swim across the pool. It was funny to see how fast she was trying to move. So this was our best picture .... lol


The next morning my mom and all our family friends caught the shuttle nice and early around 4:15 am to catch their 6 am flight to Portland, Oregon. Shelley and I caught a taxi around 5:30 to catch our 7am flight to Phoenix. Got home around 10am and had the day to unpack and relax before Monday came and it was back to work! Thanks Tim and Trish for a great cruise as always!
