CRUISE TO THE LIGHTS

wednesday
12.11.2013

hubby fell out of bed at 6:00 and went down to load parts onto the trailer. i stayed in bed until 6:30 and then got up to make breakfast & latte.

when hubby got back around 6:35, he sat down to watch tv until the eggs were done. dogs got their omelette and pills.

after he was gone, i did dishes & laundry. tried to decorate the pathetic looking xmas tree. yuck.

then i washed my hair. the ups men came again and i gave them the candy box. they thanked me again for the xmas $ gift.

i wore my new black & white sweater along with my black pants. put on new boots. but they were uncomfortable. nobody got dressed up. i should have just worn jeans.

hubby rushes home & got here by 5:00. he hurriedly put on a nice sweater and we took off. drove the back roads all the way down to the CDA resort. parked in the parking ramp. can't walk thru the hotel anymore to get to the docks. had to walk all the way around the hotel to get to our cruise. stupid parents & kids were coming up the dock ramp & not getting over for us. i let hubby walk in front so they would run into him.

we finally found the boat after an employee directed us. we boarded & found seats.

the "grinch" (in costume) waved us off as the boat maneuvered from the docks.

it was buffet style and it had not mentioned this online. we thought we would be served. then the seats were WAY too close together. no room to maneuver.

we were last in line to get our food. everybody else just cut in front of us. we found coffee & tea finally. then hubby got us drinks from the bar. we got to talking to the nice 3 ladies next to us. they live in bayview! so we had lots in common. talked to the one about her vacation to germany in october.

lights were pretty, but at the "north pole" they were not turned on very long.

the boat seemed to grind gears & have a lot of turbulence out on the water. also, we were not shown where the life vests were stored. i finally found them after opening a cupboard under the coffee urns.

we got our dessert early so that we would not have to get up again. coconut/peppermint cake & pumpkin cake. i was not in the mood for cake. half way thru the meal, hubby got sick and could not eat. of course, the crew told us they had no doggy bags. finally hubby felt a little better and ate.

when we left, masses of people were getting off the children's light boats. so we had to fight thru the crowds. got to the parking ramp to our dodge & the dodge doors would not unlock with the key. i had to crawl thru the back and thru the window after hubby moved all his stupid tires & wheels he had stored back there!

we got burgers at wendy's for the dogs on the way home.

dogs were overly excited to see us when we got home!

watched tv & went to bed.
