Day 4: Cruisin' at Sea

So it was finally here.

Our last day on the cruise ship.

WOMP WOMP, sad trombone.

It was so crazy realizing that 

our vacation was almost over. 

C and I were not very happy campers.

However, we tried to make the best of 

our last day and really soaked up

the sun and our down time.

We laid on the back deck for awhile

trying to catch a few rays,

but they were few and far between.

So, what do you do when you can't tan?

YOU EAT OF COURSE!

We spent a lot of time snacking at the buffet,

drinking hot chocolate

and reading. 

There was also a lot of napping.

I guess we were trying to save up sleep

for when we got back home ;)!

Before dinner,

we took in one of the most 

BEAUTIFUL sunsets

I have ever seen. 

It was incredible watching the sky 

change color

and the sun dip below the ocean. 

I know the picture of us isn't very good,

and we both look very sleepy

and frumpy,

but I really wanted to capture

that exact moment.

I was so happy to be there with C,

so in love with him

and so happy about my life. 

Truly hard to put into words,

but I was soooooo content

and googly eyed happy.

 Dinner that night was bitter sweet. 

We both enjoyed the food,

but were definitely feeling the effects

of not eating clean 

and indulging too much. 

But, it was sad to say goodbye

to are sweet servers

and to being treated like a princess

at the dinner table. :)!

All of the servers sang 

"Leaving on Jet Plane"

to the dining room and it

was so cute. 

Immediately after dinner, we went

back to our room to pack up 

our luggage and room. 

We decided that when we debarked 

the ship, we wanted to do

"the easy way"

and let the cruise workers

worry about our luggage.

That meant that we needed to 

have everything packed up

and waiting outside our room

by midnight that evening. 

Surprisingly, we packed up rather quickly

and were able to truly enjoy

our last evening.

We had a few drinks on deck, 

walked around

and then spent most of the evening

hanging out in the piano bar.

The pianist was hilarious,

and really talented. 

He had a very dry sense of humor

and added a LOT 

of adult language to normally

very clean songs.

This promted a lot of sing-a-longs

and wouldn't you know,

YOURS TRULY

won an award aka

a 'TUG ON A STICK'

for knowing ALL the words to

BABY GOT BACK!

Classic right?!?

We stayed in the bar until 1ish

and then decided to turn in.

We had to be up around 7am

to eat breakfast and then

debark the ship. 

Our cruise adventure was finally at an end,

and even though I was super bummed,

I was happy and contnet

with all the wonderful memories

made with the love of my life. 

TOMORROW,

Debarkation Day

and our last day in NOLA.
