Western Caribbean Cruise; Day 2

 Day 2 was an "at sea" day. We lazed around in our room for a bit,  ate breakfast,  then spent the rest of the morning at the pool. 








Just before lunch we showered and changed then ate lunch and played some movie trivia..


We had a great view from our lunch seats


 
We lost with 22 points to a team with 27! 

We got some afternoon ice cream and relaxed in our room until nearly dinner. 

I tried the cinnamon gelato
It was a dressy night


We went back to the Tuscan restaurant for dinner (our ship has 4 main dining rooms that we can pick from each night)

roasted pumpkin and burrata salad

I do not remember the name of this pasta dish but it was delicious!

After dinner we watched the acrobatics show before calling it a night.  

meeting the head members of the crew

      It was a lot of fun; I struggled a lot when they asked for producers or directors but anything having to do with songs and storylines was easy peasy!

      I love taking warm weather vacations in winter, but it does often add to my spring fever when I have to come back to more winter weather.

      I was surprised we did so well; I rarely know actor or director's names but between the two us we did know a lot of it (and those we got wrong I didn't know even after they told us the answers so I didn't feel bad!).

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mainly through

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my boys were youn

Would You Rather; Fall Edition

Image
I was looking for a quick and fun blog post when I stumbled upon this graphic on Pinterest.  I stopped by Life By Wyetha's blog and found so many great Would You Rather and printable game ideas for parties.  It's a really fun blog and you should definitely check it out (here!) .  With her permission, I'm using her adorable graphic for today's post.  As always, I've circled my answers and, of course, will go into even more detail below.   Other than a few football games when I was in high school, I've never even watched football so my obvious answer was movies!  I don't like scary movies though so you'll find me watching things like Runaway Bride, Stepmom, Love Story, Autumn in New York, St. Elmo's Fire, Good Will Hunting, etc.  While I love iced tea, I only drink hot tea when I'm sick.  I much prefer a mug of cocoa!  When my boys were younger we used to visit a corn maze (and a different one at that!) each fall.  We have so many near us.  They
