There was SO much to do... We definitely ATE and ate and ate.... David drank for the both of us since I'm with child... The pool deck was beautiful, with a huge water slide, a few hot tubs, that was so relaxing, We gambled... that was a lot of fun. We went to a few shows on the ship, two musicals. And there is a nursery on the ship, with HIGH security, so we were able to check Nicole in a few times to have some Damber (David and Amber) time! It was great, Colie LOVED being in the nursery/play room, she was able to make so many new little friends... Everyone on the ship knew who she was and would say "There is the cute little girl with the Big Hair Bows" ha ha... People even came up to David and I and said they saw the portraits in the gallery of her.. On the ship there are photographers all day everyday with little mini studio's set up with back ground drops. We took some family portraits and bought those, and some of just Colie. She danced in the dining room nightly with the waiter's and waitress's. We ate like royalty... and it was delicious. We didn't go into any of the dancing club on the ship, just didn't feel like it. There was unlimited sushi which was absolutely fabulous... and 24 hour pizza and ice cream bar on the Lido deck! It was so much fun! The ship was BEAUTIFUL, it was Carnival Cruise lines. The ship was called "Paradise", Ive sailed many carnival ships, but this was my first time on Paradise, and it definitely impressed me :) It was David and Colie's first cruise, there will be more to come. As most of you know David has a bottomless pit stomach, Well on Saturday night was "Elegant" night in the dining room, we were dressed up and the menu in the dining room was 5 star, let me tell you... David not only had like 2-3 appetizers, but then went on to eat lobster AND a t-bone steak! He was such a happy eater! Nicole was on her best behavior the whole trip, we were so happy we brought her with us. This definitely helped us realize that we can bring her out with us wherever we go. We had fun in Mexico too, we bought some souvenirs and other fun stuff. We avoided the food and water, and waited til we got back on the ship. David totally needed this vacation, this was the first time we have gotten away since he started working with the Police Dept in July. We are so blessed with this job, it was nice having 5 days off in a row, without having to take vacation pay! Just normal days off which made it even more appealing! Its good to be spontaneous sometimes! Enjoy a few pictures from our trip, we took like 300 pictures literally, so i only uploaded a few on here and not even half the pictures on facebook...























.....and you have a BELLY! Glad you had fun... I'm jealous of the lobster!
