Vacation Day Two: At Sea

The second day on the boat, we continued to explore. It was a little difficult to figure out how to get from place to place because you couldn't walk from the front to the back of the boat on one floor. So, if you were at the front of deck 8 and wanted to get to the back, you had to go down to deck 7, walk to the back of the boat, and then go up to 8. It only took us a few days to figure that one out! LOL!
While we walked around the decks and played shuffleboard, we saw whales!!! There were several of them playing in the water - jumping, splashing and blowing water! It was SO cool! I tried to take some pictures, but you can't really make anything out in them. My dad also saw a sea turtle, something I was bummed to miss.
Cris and McKenzie had a ball playing in the kids pool. At first McKenzie only went down the little slide, but soon, she was a pro and could go down the big kids slides. It was wonderful because none of the water was over 2 feet deep! We had to keep an eye on her of course, but she had the freedom to pretty much do as she wanted!
Oh the food! There were barbeques by the pool, buffets, cafes, fancy restaurants and free 24 hour room service. That night we tried one of the nice restaurants and had the best lobster I've ever had. Yum!
