Garret's AAU Aurburn Tourament

Garret and I went over to Auburn for his AAU basketball tournament.  We stopped at the outlet malls in North Bend on the way over (and thankfully avoided a huge traffic jam in doing so) and there was a really pretty rainbow.  We had a fun time.  We got to share a king bed (Garret's favorite part).  We watched Cars, the Disney Movie.  We went to lunch at Red Robin with his teammates.  His team is good and fun to watch play.

Cruise Day 10 & 11-April 6th & 7th

 We got off the boat at 9am on Saturday morning.  We don't fly home until 6pm tomorrow night (the flights were way cheaper). We got a shuttle and went back to Orlando.  We went to our hotel room.  Luckily they let us into our room early.  We watched the noon, 4pm, and 8pm session of general conference (yuck, I would not like living on the east coast during conference time).  Sunday we watched the noon session and then went to the airport.  We listened to the 4pm session at the airport and then flew home.  We almost missed our connection in Seattle, but thankfully we barely made it.  It was a long few days.  One good thing was Kirt and I both got upgraded to 1st class for both legs on the way home.  

Cruise Day 8&9-April 4th and 5th

The last 2 days were on the boat.  We did lots more swimming, playing sports, flow rider, water slides, mini golf, games, ice skating show, and lots of eating.

Don't forget ice cream.  Lots of ice cream cones were eaten.

Cruise Day 7-April 3rd St Croix

We got off the boat in St Croix today.  We rented cars and drove around the island and then went to a beach.  

We saw turtles off the pier right where the boat was docked

We drove to the end of the island.  The water was so beautiful

Cruise Day 6-April 2nd St. Thomas

We got off the boat today in St Thomas.  Kirt, Garret, and I took a open air bus taxi to Coki bay.  Garret did a scuba diving lesson.  He really liked it.  Kirt and I snorkeled and relaxed on the beach.
