Captain's Gala and Dinner

For tonight, we went to the 430pm Captain's Gala. It was elegant night and to go to the gala you had to be dressed up, anyway, so Erik and I got ourselves made up. This was of course after a 2 hour nap that Erik took while I laid awake because I had stomach pains. Not sure from what. It's hours later as I write this and I'm much better now.

At the Gala, our lovely parentals had drinks waiting. A whiskey sour for the handsome Erik and a rum punch for me. The captain introduced all of his main people and the band, Beauty and the Beat, played music. We would have stayed longer but we had to leave to go take pictures before dinner. We went to three stations for pictures and then walked off to wet for dinner at 515pm.

It must be known that my father and Smom have been winning big in the casino. Last night they were rockstars. They played for 4 hours just last night. They win, they lose, and then they win BIG.

Okay back to dinner. When we sat down, we ordered our food. Erik and I split all 4 appetizers: gulf shrimp cocktail, ragout of wild mushroom, prosciutto and melon, and baked oyster rockefeller. I also ordered the lobster bisque. Then we both ordered the broiled lobster tail and shrimp as well as the anchor honey basted salmon. We also both had baked Alaska for dessert. We agree that this was hands down the best dinner thus far.

It was a little rocky this morning and pretty wet outside but by dinner it was beautiful. We even saw a rainbow forming.もっと詳しく
