So today was the first day at sea. After a room delivered breakfast (not too much variety so I think we’ll be planning on utilizing the buffet for the rest of the trip) I went up to the Cosmos lounge for a watercolor painting class taught by Linda Curtis and assisted by her gregarious husband. It was actually a lot of fun, I got to practice my artistic side a bit (and the ladies next to me kept loudly vocalizing that they were copying me, so I guess I was doing ok). We were given a 6 color paint set and 3 brushes and paper and were told that each sea day there would be a class at 9am so I’m planning to go as many times as I can (and with gaining one hour tonight the class will be even easier to get to).
Afterwards I came back to the room to meet up with Jeremy and we had lunch outside after reading for a bit and waiting for the buffet to open. After lunch and reading/lounging we came back to the room, read some more, and napped until we needed to get day for our first formal night. Jeremy wore his wedding suit and a blue tie and I wore my “wedding departure” dress from White House/Black Market and a blue necklace from Charming Charlie so we matched quite well. Only Karen and John were at our table tonight but we had a good time talking (I had a great filet minion for dinner) and then we went to see the “Simply Ballroom” show in the theatre which I very much enjoyed, it was essentially a ” Dancing with the Stars” simile but quite entertaining and fun to see the dances in real life. Tomorrow is another day of relaxing 😉 no big plans aside from watercolor painting class in the morning.
