Today we woke up and we were still sailing to the Bahama's. We tried to spend as much time on the veranda as we could, after leaving a blizzard in ND and type of sun shine was welcomed. The kids had a great first night and really embraced everything with the trip. Breakfast was served on the 11th deck of the ship, our stateroom was level 8, and the view was beautiful. We were able to witness the ship backing into the docking area for our first stop. Cole of coarse had to compare how much better our ship did compared to the one the ended up docking next to us. Today's plan was to venture off the boat for a dolphin encounter excursion. After a "debriefing" aboard the ship we were able to debark and start our adventure. We took a short bus ride to Atlantis and there changed into our wetsuits, well everyone but Brian, he said on shore and took care of Piper. The kids had a blast, they were able to pet the dolphin multiple times, feed him fish and watch his tricks. It was so much fun seeing their faces light up with peer joy during the day (reminded us why we took the trip to begin with). After being in the water with the dolphins we grabbed a quick lunch at a kiosk that served hotdogs and chips, then went to the gift shop for souvenirs and to purchase photos. We made our way back to the ship to have a little down time before "Pirate" night! The kids had fun, even though we didn't do most of the things that the other did. We missed the pirate show by a few minutes and then ended up back in our state room. We did convince them to go back to the top deck for the final show that involved fireworks. Afterwards they had a D.J and a dance party but the kids were so wore out they didn't even complain when we just went back to our room. I also should add they really liked seeing what animal our towels would be made into each night.
