Freeport and Living Our Best Boat Life

Boat fun!

Crafting a necklace

Noey and Jennifer in the Arcade

Trivia!

Nolan chilling with Cartoon Network. Also a great shot of our room! That top bunk folded down from the ceiling and the bottom bunk was the couch in other rooms. 

Dress up Night!

GQ Ollie

Fancy dinner at the Steakhouse and the pre-appetizer was the daintiest & cutest little cheeseburger you ever did see. 

Happy birthday, Jess!

Remember the name Banana Bay if you are ever looking for an excursion in Freeport! A Carnival bus brought us over to a private chunk of the beach with a single (but delicious) restaurant/bar. It was a gorgeous beach that we only shared with 20 or 30 other people. 

Barracudas!

We brought our goggles and a few in our crew had their snorkel items and we found all kinds of cool stuff in the surf!

This is a conch. We are inexperienced and thought it was the world's biggest hermit crab at first. :)

We saw a couple star fish and a saucer-sized sand dollar. 

Jessica!

Robyn!

One million shells were declared keepers by Nol. He also definitely had a tan line across his nose from squinting in all that bright light. 

First Day at Sea & Key West

Goodbye Galveston!

Here is Cruise Director, Andy. He quickly became one of our favorite people and was easily the most funny person or show on the trip. 

A entire cruise ship to explore, including all the types of food you can imagine, pools, water slides, hot tubs, friends, games, shows, and an arcade and Nolan would have been happy to spend 5 hours a day on the mini golf course. 

My first round included a whopping 3 holes in 1! From then on, we just played the round and the winner was whomever got the most holes in 1. The wind and gentle rock of the boat could be extremely helpful or the reason we missed any of our shots. 

Let the duck hunting begin! We learned that people hide and find ducks on cruises and brought a few of our own that I had 3d printed at school. Both boys ended up with over 20 ducks. I need a picture of our final haul, but here are the first couple we found. 

How much ice cream can one eat in a week? Let's find out!

First Port Stop: Key West!

Time for our bike tour!

6 miles!

First stop on the bike tour.... the beach! 

Lots of pretty scenery

We stopped at parks, piers, and all kinds of places. 

Southern most point of the continental United States. 90ish miles to Cuba!

The Carnival Dream

Our bike tour ended at the best little shop you ever did find. 

From there we walked down to the harbor.
