Trip Report, Day 6: Chocoholic Day at Sea

We refused to get up for breakfast at 9 a.m., so by 10:30, we made it to the buffet to just grab bagels. Then, we went looking for our family and our little guy. We found my mom first in the shops and then saw my dad and Jax as they were walking around and looking at souvenirs. He loved the wind chimes and found this $700 bracelet that he liked and needed to show me. It had light blue stones in it and wasn't something I was interested in buying for that amount of money.

They all went to the casino because the guys wanted to enter a Texas Hold Em tournament, but immediately realized that it wasn't worth it. It was $300 for the three of them to play and they could only win $350. So, they just played table games instead and did pretty well. Jax and I did laps around the boat while we waited for them to finish playing.

After the casino, my dad, Uncle George and TK entered a putting competition in the lounge. Some of the shots were from the top of the stairs. Jax and I left to go to the kiddie parachute play session, but Jax wasn't interested in the parachute and just played with the blocks and cars in the room. When the session was over, we went back out to the kiddie pool and Jax went in again. After he splashed around for a while, we went back to the room to rest and then get ready for dinner.

When Jax woke up, we all got dressed in white and headed to dinner. Jax had a mini meltdown during dinner, so someone had to take him walking every few minutes. This is where it really helps to have a large traveling party. After dinner, we went to take formal family pictures in our matching outfits where the photographers were set up with a few backdrops. It was the White Party night, which we missed, but we showed up in time for the enormous Chocoholic Buffet. There were some interesting treats, but again, no cupcakes, cookies or brownies. I enjoyed the Chocolate Cheesecake and Cream Puffs with a nice cold glass of milk. When we had our fill, we went back to the room with Jax to watch a movie because there wasn't anything else for us to do that would keep him entertained. We called it a night.
