July 6th 2008

I woke early our first morning on the ship.  I managed to spend 30 minutes on an exercise bike before trying to capture the sunrise on camera.

First cruise sunrise

We were docking in Maui this morning and really had no plans for the day, so we took it easy.

We explored the ship,

Grand entrance of Pride of America

and read a few books in the library.

Alyson loves libraries

And we had to buy pony tail holders for Alyson.

Our cabin steward made us a bunny with towels.

We went swimming and got to participate in smoothie tasting (although Cantaloupe is NOT my favorite).

The boys did a little putting…

And what cruise is complete without shuffleboard?

Cruise life at its finest 🙂  The boys also got to participate in a soccer tournament.  They played against a dad and his son, who was a bit older than Christian. The boys did great!  They lost, but only by 2 points.

While the kids were in Kids Club in the evening, we went to hear WT Greer sing.  Honestly, it was awful.  But on the way back to our cabins with the kids, I heard Mark O’bitz, who I really enjoyed.
