Sunday arrived, and we had nothing but the ocean to look forward too!
Started out with breakfast at Cabana's. They had almost anything you could imagine for breakfast, except Starbucks
I packed some Via iced coffee and some Via mocha packets and took one with me so I could get some morning joe that was more my speed.
We had gotten a call that we had a spot for Palo for brunch that day, so I gladly accepted.
DS 8 wanted to hit the Lab to see Stitch, DD 8 went along too. DS 10 went with DH over to check out the Edge. He will be 11 in November and the Lab crew suggested he go check it out during Open House to see if it was a good fit.
I hit Deck 4 to take a run. I started running at the end of May because I want to RUN the Race for the Cure in Oct, and thought the CC 5K would be a good try it out race. At took a little to get the hang of running on the waves, but I managed to run 1 full lap around the boat. I definitely prefer running on deck to running on the treadmill though. Even if it is warm, one side the wind is blowing and cooling you off, and the best part on the other side is the wind pushing you forward. I logged 2 miles total for the day.
Headed back to the stateroom, got a shower, and it was almost time for brunch. Kids were in the Lab, DS 10 was still at the Edge.
DH explained to me that the counselors at the Edge said he could be there but he couldn't have a Mickey band if he was there, and part of the rules were that he had to be able to sign himself in and out. I felt like I was dangling off a cliff, but I figured he is going to grow up eventually, and a little freedom in an albeit large confined area seemed like an ok place to start.
We headed to Palo, for what I hoped was one of many chances we would have on vacation for some couple time.
The food was amazing!

and of course, I glass of champagne to wash it all down
We picked up the kids, found DS 10 and headed for the Midship Detective Agency for awhile.
Found Pepi's door, if you get the chance, call his number, it's a funny message.
DS 10 and DD 8 wanted to see the Aladdin show, and I don't know if this is the norm or not, but there were afternoon matinees of the shows each day. We headed off with our Walmart movie candy to find the show.
The show was good, but Aladdin is not my favorite movie anyway. After the show we picked up DS 8 from the Lab and headed to the pool. Aquaduck started to clear out, and the kids hit the Eye Scream for yet another snack.
It was formal night, and I had made a reservation for DD to go to BBB. This was a first for her, she is a bit of a tomboy, but when we were getting ready for the trip, she found some girly girl and picked up a few dresses for each nights dinner.
This was her first trip to BBB, and her stylist was Sophie from England. I didn't realize they weren't allowed to accept tips, so she was our first Thank You gift bag receiver. We put in some Oreos, 2 packs of gum, some Junior mints, Reese's mini-cups and a small back of pretzels.
