Cruise Day 7- FUN FAREWELL DAY AT SEA! Day 8- MIAMI, FLORIDA

FRIDAY NOV. 17th

Our final day on the cruise! It went so fast and we saw so many beautiful places. We got to spend time with some of our kids and make lots of great memories!! Friday we just relaxed on the boat, we played cards for hours at the Blue Iguana while listening to all the music and partying on the deck. We just relaxed and ate and later that night, some of us watched Spiderman-Homecoming on the huge screen at the back of the boat!! 

This was the 'Black & White Library', a nice place to read and relax and play games!

Our last and final fancy meal on board!  Wow, I'm sure going to miss all that wonderful food being prepared and served to me!!

SATURDAY NOV. 18th

When we woke up the next morning---we were in Miami!!

Debarktation didn't take long. We all had to have our last meal on board, so we ate at the buffet for breakfast. Then we just grabbed our suitcases and headed down off the boat.  Our plan was to all go to the Ft. Lauderdale Temple.  We called a couple of Ubers and off we went!
Our driver missed the right turn, so everyone else beat us there!

 It was a little embarrassing going in the temple in our street clothes with all our baggage, but they were all so nice to us. We changed in the restrooms in the front lobby area and put all our suitcases on the shelves meant for the baptistry patrons. 

We all got to do an endowment session and I was excited to do some of our own family names. In our session there were 7 new endowments, so our session was big, 77 total. We were told we broke the previous record of 72! There were other cruisers there too, only they were just leaving. They speak at least 3 languages in that temple, English, Creole and Spanish. 

Kirk and Kari had an earlier flight than the rest of us, so they had already left when we took these pictures! 

This was our last BIG Hoorah! It was a wonderful way to end an amazing trip! The Ft. Lauderdale temple is gorgeous! It has a tropical theme and is decorated very elegant and beautiful!! So glad we got to go!!
