Cruisin 2011

The best part of being on a cruise? Being pampered... the food... the casino... all of the above!


Greg with his tiny coffee cup. Espresso makes you look like a giant.

Towel animal day one: Seals!

Me playing the role of Rudolph the Burnt Nose Reindeer.

Mom and Dad looking rather elegant on formal night.

Last time we were on a cruise, I looked much different. I had at least two more chins and a suit two sizes bigger. This is much better.

Greg in a suit! Write it down!

Appletini night! This is for you, Scrubs fans!

Our Barney Stinson Suit Up pose.

Yusef, our Maitre'D for the week... he reminded us a LOT of Borat... a lot.

Okay, we need a ruling. Brooke says Elephant. I say Crab. Thoughts?


The ship view of Grand Cayman - what horrible weather!

Towel animal number three... Swanish thing.

The mini-golf championship. I'd like to say I did well. I'd like to say I have a million dollars, too, but that would all be lying.

Pre-game shot.



And post-game pout from me after getting spanked.

It's Ball-in-a-Cup! It's okay, because the ball is attached to a string, which is attached to the cup!

Formal night two - should have tried the shirt on before taking it on the cruise. Little tight in the neck.

Mom showing off how much she has lost in her new dress!


Borat, er, I mean Yusef entertaining the crowd at dinner.

Our last towel animal, a bunny in a rather provocative pose.

Brooke showing off her mad skillz on the slots. It started off well... for a while...

Me taking the house for everything in craps! Wait, reverse that....

Cigar night for the boys!

And playing a little roulette... I actually broke completely even and had some great calls. Black 24 - always a good bet.
So we got to the airport at about 9:00 and through security by 9:45 for a 1:00 flight. At 5:00 we finally boarded the plane after multiple delays... cards only keep you entertained so long.
It was sad to leave the vacation behind, so maybe the delayed flight was God keeping us there for a bit longer. He knew the family had a great time being together, relaxing and bonding. Hopefully it won't be a decade until the next big vacation!
