Before Nick headed off to Texas for the summer we decided we needed took go on vacation. So we called up two of our favorite people, Michelle and TJ, and said, "Pack your bags, the four of us our going on a trip!" We decided on a cruise, and off the Mexican Riveria it was for 7 great days-May 15-May 22. We flew into California the night before and stayed at Michelle's parents house, and then headed down to Long Beach the next morning. Once of the ship the eating games begun! No joke, I think my body is still in shock from all the sweets-but hey, it was vacation, right?!?! Here we are after we got on the ship. Yes, it was cold in California pretty much the entire time.
Sunday and Monday were sea days where we slept in, laid out, ate, and played Bingo! As usual, Nick (who wins everything) won bingo! As you can see here, he was pretty excited :)
Nick and TJ were sure to do some late night karaoke. After a poor rendition of "Save A Horse Rid a Cowboy," TJ declared that never should have try to do a country rap song! Haha-I about died laughing. The highlight each night of karaoke was the host, who was very eclectic to put it nicely, and was sure to comment that everyone's performance was W-O-W!! Here at the boys in action.
At the welcome aboard show the first night they had the men in the audience stand up and be loud if they love their wife. 5 guys from an audience of at least 1,000 got selected to have a "I love my wife competition." Of course Nick was one of those guys, and then he had to give his best Tarzan yell, and whoever did the best one according to audience applause wins. And as usual (going back to Nick winning everything) he WON! He got to go on stage, do this whole dialogue about how he loves me with the cruise director, and at the end he had to show his love by jumping up and down three times with flair and end it with his best booty shake! It was laugh out loud one of the most stomach aching laughs I've had in a long time. The crowd goes crazy, and of course he is told that he has to do this several times throughout the week, and if he does then he will win some prizes. He was given a piece of paper that had all the times he had to be on the ship to 'perform' each time trying to top his last booty dance on stage! At the end of the week and 5 performances later he was showered with everything Carnival makes that has their logo on it! Not to mention the entire cruise ship (3,500 people) knew who he was and how much he loooooves me! I'll have to post some video when I get a chance. The best part was that they record everything on the ship. So 24/7 there is a channel on the televisions in everyone's room that plays a loop of the activities on board. Since Nick was professing his love for me and shaking his butt at everyone, he was on that TV a lot!
And this was only Day 1 and Day 2....more to come
