All good things end.

Day 5 (of cruise):

On Thursday we cruised through the night and docked back in Miami on Friday morning. We got all of our over packed luggage; two rolling and two bags and a mini rolling bottle bag to be exact, said our goodbyes to all our new friends and got to our car and drove to Orlando.

Day 8 (of vacation):
We were so pooped that once we were in Orlando we had a quickie dinner at Panda Express and caught up on all of our tv shows we missed and tried to catch up on sleep!

Saturday we decided we were not going to do the whole disney world thing because we were staying in the most amazing hotel that had awesome pools, slides, and a large lazy river... just what the doctor ordered! We were so tired from the cruise we had no energy to run around like children at the parks as planned so relaxing by the pool was perfect. After the pool we went to Premier Outlets, in SC we only have Tanger Outlets, but Premier is much better; they have VS outlets, Express, Kate Spade, Armani, Tory Burch etc etc. I LOVE Premier Outlets, and everytime I go to Orlando, Scott knows a full afternoon will be spent there because there are two Premier Outlets.

For dinner we went to this amazing place called TuTu Tango. If you are ever near one, it is a must! There are artist set up around the cafe painting, and local art is on the wall. They have an african tribal band walking around playing drums and the most amazing tapas food and drinks! Food, check. Live artist, check. Yummy drinks, check. Live music, check. All of my favorite things in one place! Go visit one, you'll thank me later!

Day 9 (of vacation):
Sunday was a travel day. We drove back home, walked in the door and crashed. I think Im still recovering!

Overall the cruise was sooo much fun! we won two of the three trivia games we played. All the shows were awesome, the comedy show was by far my favorite. The pool deck and drinks were great and I could have lived right there on that deck forever. The food was good, however not up to "Charleston" standards haha. Charleston has the most amazing food, EVER, so it still didnt compare but it was still really good. Coco Cay was definitly the highlight of the trip, it really was paradise and I would go back today. Since this was Scott's first cruise, he is now hooked and already planning a huge group trip in February! We are going to invite my family and his and then all of our friends, and of course anyone are family brings along too! Interested? hehe. Well I guess all good things must come to an end eventually... or until next February!
