Disney, Day 5

 It was a wee bit windy

 Nassau, Bahamas


 The kids wore their ponchos.  It made walking in the wind even more fun.
 We were seated with a family of 3 from Baltimore at our evening meals.  Their daughter, Isabelle.  Was also 5.  Her birthday is Jan 5th.  No kidding.  We called them Disney Twins.


 No LaFleur Family Vacation would be complete without one day of rain.  That day was Day 5.  The Dream was docked at Nassau.  We did not book any excursions for this day, but did hope to get off the ship so the kids could see a different country.  We ate breakfast at Cabanas.  Eric had what would become his standard breakfast of a chocolate glazed donuts and bacon.  Next, we explored the ship a bit.  The kids spent some time at the Oceaneer's Club/Lab, which is this awesome kids' area with games, movies, crafts, etc...  They loved being there.  After lunch, the rain slowed down a bit, so we did venture in to Nassau.  Megan got some braids put in.  We walked up and down a few streets in the safe, tourist section.  The poverty of the region had a big impact on the boys.  We returned to the ship to catch "Chimpanzee" in the Beuna Vista theater.  It was great.   The evening meal was at Animator's Palate.  There were over 170 flat screen tvs in the restaraunt that featured scenery from Finding Nemo.  Bruce the shark would "swim" from tv to tv across the restaraunt.  The kids went back to the Oceaneer's Club after supper, and Don and I went swimming and took a ride on the Aqua Duck!  This was also the evening we discovered that there are 'midnight snack' restaraunts, that serve pizza by the slice, hot dogs, burgers, chicken tenders and fries.  They also had a soft serve ice cream station.  We picked the kids up at 10:30, then got some junk food!  Eric tried to make a Mickey head w/his mustard like our waiter does with the ketchup at supper.  Jonathan had a brat w/saurkraut.  Meg and I had ice cream. Don had chicken tenders.  None of us were really hungry, but who can resist junk food after bedtime!
