March 4 - Tuesday - At Sea - Day 3

Highlight:  Relaxing aboard the ship - Being together as a family

Grandpere and GiGi selpt until almost 9 - a restful night at sea.  GiGi went to work out in the gym and Grandpere went to get deck chairs out by the pool in the sun.  Grandpere updated the trip journal and read until GiGi got there.  They then went to eat an early lunch. 

Uncle Chris slept late while the Pagels laid by the pool and had a late morning slice of pizza.  Grandpere, Chris, Leslie, Lauren, and Lillian went to the buffet lunch.  Everyone had to eat lunch before they could have a brownie.  Uncle Chris ate 2 pigs in a blanket in 1 bit too!  Grandpere had his favorite dessert - Isle Flottante - floating islands - meringue with vanilla sauce.  Lauren tired it and liked it oo!

We then went back to the pool until 2 pm when Lauren went to Pelican to play.  At 3, GiGi, Lincoln, and Chris went and got reservations for horseback riding in St Martin while Grandpere sat by the pool.  Later Leslie and Lillian came and got Grandpere and they went swimming - Lillian liked playing blast off in the water and jumping into the water into Grandpere's arms.

Everyone took a nap and met at Grandpere's room for a drink about 6.  At 7 Lauren went for a kids dinner at Pelican.  Everyone else had a drink in Grandpere's room and then went to Sabatini's - an Italian Restaurant - for dinner.  They brought us so much good - hot appetizers, cold appetizers and pasta, then we chose a salad and entree.  It was really good.  Our waiter, Bernardo, made a pizza just for Lillian. 

At 9, Leslie went to get Lauren at Pelican but she didn't have a photo id so she couldn't get her, so Lincoln had to go back to pick her up.  Lauren joined us back at the restaurant for dessert but instead she ate Lillian's pizza.  Our dinners were wonderful - and there was so much of it.

After dinner Grandpere took the girls back to their cabin and put them to bed while Mommy, Daddy and Uncle Chris went out (gambling?).  GiGi went to see the Bee Movie in the open air theatre up on the sun deck.  Mommy and Daddy relieved Grandpere after midnight and everyone went to bed.
