All things come to an end

Saturday was the last full day of the cruise and then Sunday we flew home. So we had another sailing day from San Fransisco back to LA. We did a ton more during the week that I didn't even list but some of the highlights from the weeks were:

- The love and marriage game show. It was so funny. Especially this couple who had been married for 60 years! It can't be justified through writing.

- People watching.

- Talking and meeting people. Like I said before we really liked our dinner group and after dinner we usually hung out with them. The last two nights on the boat we played cards with them and I think it was the best nights we had and laughed for hours.

Saturday we happened to be in the rock climbing area during the speed competition. So they asked Phil if he wanted to join. So he shrugged his shoulders and said sure! We had done the rock wall 1 time! So he was 5th to go up out of 6 people. He watched all the guys chalk up their hands try to jump up 5 rocks to go up faster than anyone else...


He climbed the wall in 30 seconds! And took 2nd out of 6! It was a running joke to get a royal carribbean key chain and Phil got one and a medal.


Afterwards was the dodgeball tournament and he got another keychain.

We went to the final show that night. This is the big theater:
This is Captian Peer {prounounced like pear the fruit}, we heard his voice every day at noon in his norwegian accent and then we actually went to the show he talked at in the end so it was weird to see his face in the end.
Our favorite show was the juggler, preforming at the last show.
All things do come to an end and we had to leave the ocean with very little beach time, but it was nice to see the kids after a week. We had a lot of fun even though things didn't happen like we had planned and we were really disappointed in missing out on the last two stops. But you have to make the best of what you get!
Audriana really liked her souviners. Here she is with one of them, her moracca!

At least you got some souvenirs while you could! We were in Boise last week and I kept wondering if you even made it to Mexico at all because I know one cruise line canceled even before you left! You'll just have to go again.
