Bon Voyage, Justin!

Tonight was Justin's "Bon Voyage!" party at our house. Just under 50 of our closest friends and family came to bid him farewell as he prepared to leave for Basic Training Camp. We were enjoying the company so much, we forgot to take pictures!

Here is what little we got of the evening...

DAY 8: Disembarking

This morning, we woke up to the sights of Los Angeles, meaning our Disney Cruise had officially come to an end.

We had breakfast at Triton's (one last time!) and talked about our great vacation on the Disney Cruise.

Wyatt took advantage of having a short-order cook on staff on the Disney Wonder. His request: Pancakes, cinnamon rolls, bacon, sausage, eggs, and toast. He received just that.

We were instructed to wait in the Lobby Atrium for our "character" to be called to disembark the ship. When our "character" was called, we disembarked and headed through U.S. Customs. It was a quick and efficient system - Good job, Disney!

Watching movies while Daddy and Papa get the car.

Wow! That's a lot of luggage!

In the words of our good friend Mickey Mouse, "See Ya Real Soon, Disney Cruise!"

DAY 7: Homeward Bound

Saturday was our last full day out at sea and on the cruise.

We started the day off right with a visit from some of our favorite friends!

And someone left a fun surprise back in the stateroom for the kids...

It was a gloomy day as we were just hitting the tip of a hurricane on our way back home. Boy, did we feel it as we were rocking back and forth on the voyage home! Luckily, it wasn't anything a little Mickey-shaped ice cream or a swim in the Mickey pool couldn't cure.

That evening, we caught the Dreams Come True show at the Walt Disney Theater.

Wyatt didn't last long.

Dinner was at Triton's... We knew we were going to miss Stacey and Gloria, and the amazing food!

We saw a few more of our favorite Disney characters on our way back to the stateroom.

Simba from "The Lion King"

Stitch from "Lilo and Stitch"

Our disembarking instructions were waiting for us back in the room. It really started to sink in that our vacation was coming to an end.
