Cruise!

Matt and I finally took a much awaited vacation - our first time away from Abby together!  It was 4 days and 3 nights of fun on the Royal Caribbean Freedom of the Seas (compliments of my sister...)!  We'd been planning this for months and it seemed so far away when we first talked about it.  But then it was here and we were both a bit hesitant to leave our girl.  But she did fine and Nana and Papa were very generous to come to Austin to stay with her.

The ship was beautiful and HUGE.  The only other ship we'd both been on before was on our honeymoon to Tahiti and that boat held 350 people.  This monster held 3,500!

We spent a day in Nassau playing at the Atlantis Hotel's waterpark.  It's amazing and probably the most fun Matt and I have had in a long while!  Then we spent the next day on Royal Caribbean's private island, Cococay, and got to see Nelly perform.  And he was actually really good!

It was so nice to get away!  But one of the best highlights was getting to experience the "Flowrider" on the cruise ship.  It's a mock surfing game that Matt really got into.  So much so - he even perfected his dismount on his last go round.  I give it a 10.
