Day 4...sea day (you'll be seeing this ALOT)


One of many more sea days to come. Again, I can’t decide what to do. There are so many options. Today we decided to start out at the connect 4 challenge. I love games so why not be the champ. Unfortunately, there were not many people there so we played a couple of games and left. We put on our swim suits and headed up to the pool. It was a hot and humid day up on deck. Taylor was getting antsy for her friends to wake up and I was enjoying one of the many books I brought with me. Finally some of her friends woke up and she was happily playing at the pool with them. I sat and chatted with one of the moms. At 2:30 it was time for poker. A game we had set up on the boards and I was ready to play. Disney has no casino so this is my action. It was a $20.00 buy in and 1-3rd place. We started at 2 tables and combined into one. I made it all the way to combining and was very happy. I was getting some good cards, but one guy…steve…he had a stack of chips that put a nervous feeling in my stomach. BUT soon enough I had many of his chips and it was down to 3 of us! Steve, Jerry and ME! It was getting late and the boys wives were complaining that they would be late to dinner. I could have gone on for hours as I was late seating. So we decided to split the pot 3 ways…yahoo. I was probably in second place at that point, but it could have gone anyway…we were pretty much just exchanging chips.
Of course, during the poker game, my daughter was having a field day without me. Her friends were kind enough to adopt her for the afternoon. So I left the tables with cash in hand and headed over to the Castaway Club party. A party for multiple cruisers…of which we are now. They were giving away free drinks and food, but I stayed away from the food, since we had dinner soon. I went down to change for dinner and realized that I had a magnificent sunburn. I wasn’t sitting in the sun, but I was underneath a window and through it I did a number on my shoulders and one knee.
Dinner was ok, it seems that we are on the start on a 3 day decline, but more about that later. After dinner, taylor went to kids club and we went to kareokee. It was actually Disney Kareokee but the kids didn’t want to join us. Rockin bar D was next on the list, but it ended up being a quiet night since we arrived in Aruba in the morning.

Still looking for a camera cable….I have hopes that Mark has one to loan me….
