July 18, Back on the Ship

After spending the day on the beach we were all happy to get back on the boat to take showers and get all of the sand off. We had some down time to play games on the iPads or read. Then, as usual, we met up for dinner. It was the only night on the ship that I didn't eat fish, which I really don't eat a lot of at home. But, after having so many delicious fish entree's on the ship I'd really like to try to incorporate it into my diet at home more often.

Once dinner was over we went to the Schooner Bar for our after dinner drinks and Shirley Temples.

That night we went to the headliner show which was Ronn Lucas, a performer we've seen at least once or twice before. He's an amazing ventriloquist and brilliant at what he does but his show is pretty much identical year after year so if you've seen it, no need to go again. The kids really enjoyed what they understood though and I think Landon was finally old enough to understand most of it. :)

The show was in the Amber theater and I don't know how many people it holds but it's quite large! For the shows on this ship you have to reserve your seats in advance or take a chance on getting a spot when you get there. They let reserved people in first and ten minutes before it begins they let non reserved people in. We were able to see every show we wanted but some shows did sell out. 

When we got back to our room that evening there was a little towel elephant waiting for us. The kids were so happy to see it but Dakota was in love! She even named her Ellie. 

It was another late night for us getting to bed and we had another early morning ahead so after the show we headed to bed.
