Back to Wednesday Post
Remember when I went on that honeymoon cruise? I only posted about the first day boarding the boat,well that is about to change!
Day 1 - Santa Barbara
It was a beautiful day. We honestly couldn't of asked for a better weekend to go on a cruise.
Sunrise
Alex honestly thought we would sleep in but little does he know I can no longer sleep past 9am. I believe I was up every morning on the cruise before 7.
The good part of being awake that early is there is NO line for breakfast in the buffet. We made it a tradition to walk up there every morning and get our food and come back & enjoy it watching the sunrise on our balcony!
Not the BEST picture of me.
Yes that would be eggs Benedict my favorite thing besides biscuits and gravy! The cruise didn't offer that so I went for those instead!
Why not start vacation with Mimosas?
While eating breakfast, I happened to look over and saw The Condor
This is the boat my dad usually is a night captain for during fishing season. It was totally random to see him on our trip! He was our tender for Santa Barbara.
After breakfast it was time to get dressed & head into the town to do some wine tasting!
We keep it classy & take mirror pictures!
On the tender - Not the boat above, the Cruiseship tender
Walking to the winery for tasting
First Winery - Santa Barbara Winery
This is where I learned, I am NOT a wine person!
My dad, Roxanne, Alex, Me, My aunt Kathy & Uncle Mike
Next Stop - The place across the stress from Santa Barbara Winery!
SB was way better than this place but either way I was NOT a fan of any of it!
After this place, we decided maybe one more just for fun before heading back to the ship for all you can eat & our alcohol package to drink up!
This was the BEST place. Beer tasting
Give me beer & I am a happy camper
That blueberry is so good! I want a whole case of it!
When the guy told us there is beer tasting instead of wine since wine starts to all start tasting the same no matter how many different places you go! I made Alex drink all the wine though.
All of us & our beer
After beer tasting, we headed back to the boat for lunch & drinks!
On the Condor for tendering.
Our cruise ship
Back on the boat,
My drink getting ready to hit the pool! Captain Mai Tai! Instead of regular rum, they use captain Morgan It is so good!! This is why I gained weight minus all the food I ate!
We laid out by the pool, enjoyed some drinks and ate a lot of french fries. I kid you not they were the BEST french fries ever!
That night was formal night! I finally wore a dress I have owned for over 3 years & still had tags on it.
Confession of a shopaholic - Most of my clothes I took on the cruise had tags
Just to show you how FAT I was..
I am now in the process of changing this!
Geesh looking at those pictures, I look pregnant, I promise I am not, I am just fat!
Santa Barbara was fun. We might even make a weekend trip up there soon, my only thing is I BETTER keep losing weight before that!
Until next time Santa Barbara - Stay classy!
Next stop: Catalina
LOVE the wine tasting outfit! I'm kind of on the same page with wine. The girls love their wine nights so for those I bring a moscato or sweet red wine. I can't handle the other bitter ones!
ReplyDeleteI love what you wore for wine tasting, you looked gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteHowever, it's is outside of my realm of understanding how anyone can not like wine ;)
All your clothes are fantastic and you look AMAZING!!! I love the purple dress.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a mai tai. MMMMMMM!!!!
mmm biscuits and gravy!! :)

ReplyDeleteBtw no disrespect but Alex is a cutie. :) good catch girl. Your son looks like him a lot.
loved the purple dress and you look GORGEOUS!
