The day started nice and early. Everyone was excited even though things were kind of chaotic.
We had a BUS to get everyone to the cruise. I guess 30 adults and 6 children is a lot of people...
Look at the size of that thing!
Mia & I shared a room and we were lucky enough to get a balcony! Here's Robby and his dad (mostly his dad), insisting that we stole their room. None of the reasons were valid.

The rest of the ship was just begging to be explored, so we did. Here's Robby in the Atrium Lobby. Isn't it amazing?
We headed outside where a dance party was going on on the deck.
Before we knew it, it was dinner time in the International Dining Room. This was certainly the most anticipated part of every night. And alas, the seafood "plate" warrants a picture all on its own. Definitely not what Phil & Robby had in mind.
Meagan thinks I take too many pictures of food, so I tried cramming 4 pictures into 2. (:
Vanilla Souffle and Strawberry New York Cheesecake
After dinner, Ian, Maddie, Robby, and I went to play tennis. It was windy and freezing, but c'mon, TENNIS ON A SHIP?! We couldn't pass it up. None of us could feel our fingers within 30 minutes.
Conveniently, there was a hot tub not too far away. We stayed until our fingers regained their color. Oh, cruises are delightful.
It's fun being tourists!
We walked past Ivar's around lunchtime and could not resist stopping. They had the most delicious clam chowder and fish n' chips.
There were 5,484 seagulls surrounding the restaurant, so with the promptings of the signs that read "don't worry about feeding the birds", we fed them our cold fries. One of us was more scared than the others. Can you guess who???
As we made our way back to the marketplace, we stopped by the gum wall. Yes, it is a wall covered with every kind of gum imaginable. 
Next, we stopped by Nordstrom Rack (obviously) and Robby found a pair of sweet Nikes. So he FINALLY chucked his old, dirty, worn-out Addidas that I've been bugging him to get rid of for ages. He was really not as sad as he looks in this picture.
The tourist thing continued as we went to check out the Space Needle. I haven't been since I was in elementary school, so it was a lot of fun.
The view was breathtaking. We even saw the cruiseship that we were going to be boarding the very next day!
By the end of the night, we were all exhausted yet starving. 13 Coins was right next door to our hotel, so we headed there to appease our growling stomachs. I don't know if we were just that hungry or if the food was just actually that good, but everything tasted amazing. We had a spaghettini carbonara, chicken scallopini alla marsala (my favourite), and a bucket of clams in pesto broth. The perfect end to a great day.

Look how dark we were! Not to worry, we're going to be just as dark (if not darker) by the time we come back to Utah in 2 weeks. For the time being, all I can think about are the poke, acai bowls, and ninja rolls that we're going to be devouring in less than 24 hours. Not to mention the beach, warm sand, slippers, and shorts. Tomorrow, come faster!
