Take Off Day 1

Cruise time has finally arrived. Our bags were packed, Grandma and Grandpa arrived to take the kids to church and Dan arrived to take us to the airport. Tifani, Taylor, Emma, Jake & Alex left Saturday morning and enjoyed a day in Vegas. Steve, Brody, Chad & Anna left Friday and spent the night at Aunt Jill's in Northridge with Grammie, Ethan & Erica. Josh, Nick & Tia also flew out Sunday morning.

We all arrived despite how we got here.

Here's MIke & Makinzee with the Splendor in the back.
Funny story. Josh & Emma are minors and couldn't be in the same room. So my dad registered Mike  with Josh and Emma in a room with me. We arrived and checked out our rooms, Our room had  2 twins. Mike asked Ozzie our cabin keeper to put the beds into a king. Ozzie checked his stats and said "Joshua a 17 year old male and Michael a 37 year old male would like to be in a king bed?" He would have done it no questions asked. LOL. We explained that Josh and I would be switching rooms. We cleared up the room situation with guest services. It was a fun joke all week long!

Here we are taking off.




 Not sure where the other 1/2 the group was.
That night, Ozzie turned down our beds and left us with this little guy and two chocolates.
We enjoyed dinner and explored the ship. Dinner was fun but also slow and each night the ship would rock us so much that after dinner we were so tired. Some nights we went to a late show, some nights we played games, and some nights we went straight to bed after a long day at sea!

Just noticed a post about the last days of your cruise and realized somehow I was missing something. So I came back and back and more back - to the beginning! Sorry. It's been crazy and I have obviously not been reading blogs. My favorite part about this day was the bedding story...too funny!
