Day 8 - CASTAWAY CAY!

Our favorite place in the world (besides home). Castaway Cay is just a perfect spot, with wonderful people, leaving you with not a care in the world. I can only think of one thing wrong with CC, your never there long enough. After another great breakfast at Cabana, we were off the ship by 9:30am. We stopped by the Castaway Cay Post Office to mail ourselves a couple of post cards, then headed to the beach. Dominic and I went snorkling in search of Mickey Mouse. This was the first time we had been snorkling in that area, so this would be the first time we would see Mickey. He was way out there, but we found him. There were lots of big pretty fish, and one scary one!! Dad and Donovin saw a sting ray, but we missed him.






After some swimming at the beach, we went to Pelican Plunge and all the boys went down it while I took pictures. Lunch started to smell real good so we ate at Cookies II for some chicken, bbq ribs, salad and cookies. Yummmmm. We rented a raft to float around and fish watch. Donovin wanted to go see the sunken Mickey, so Dom and I took him out there. It's a long swim, but it was worth it, Donovin got to see the Mickey and we all had a lot of fun. We were getting a little tired and a little sun burned so we decided it was time to head back to the ship. Dad and Donovin took naps while Dom and I wandered the ship. Someone sent us room service cookies, we never found out who did it, but what a treat! Dinner was Animators Palate, the same name as on the Wonder but the room was different. Instead of the black and white walls turning into color, the pictures on the walls came to life with the animals from Finding Nemo. Another surprise I knew about but didn't tell the kids. The animals would actually talk to the people at the tables, asked them where they were from, things like that. I thought it was a great idea, the creators of Disney are really impressive. They never disappoint.


After dinner, we all rode the AD again, thinking this would be our last opportunity since it was our last night on the ship. Time goes by way too fast! We tried to get into a "Game Show" later that night, but only Dom and I were willing to get on stage, and you needed more then 3 to enter. We watched anyway, and it was funny. I didn't want to go to sleep that night, because I knew in the morning our trip was over. The crusie is a wonderful time, and we are going to sail again. This time we are planning a longer one, most likely the 7 day Alaskan cruise when Dominic graduates high school. I wish it could be sooner, I love that time with my family, so who knows....
