Day 6 – Day at Sea

Even though we were at sea, this was to be a busy day.  I particpate in the DISboards prior to our cruise.   DISBoards (www.disboards.com) is a forum for all things Disney.  We had a specific thread going (actually turned into about 10 threads over 2 years) to chat about the cruise.  Our group setup a number of private activites onboard.  The first was a wine tasting.  I enjoy learning all the different aspects to quality wine.  It was a fun group, too.  We tried three white, three reds and a champagne.  The class flew quicly as I had another activity right after- jewelery making.   I’ve always wanted to learn how to make those beautiful necklaces and earrings.  Corrine brought the tools and we had purchased the pieces from her prior to the cruise.  I made a couple of cool dangles with Tinkerbell and Mickey Mouse.  Then I got started on my necklace.  We ran out of time quickly.  Guess I’ll have to finish my necklace at home.  It was a terrific introduction to jewelry making.  Next it was time for the boys to do their first online Latin class onboard.   Internet service on satellite can be hit or miss.  We were blessed to get through most of the class before things got spotty again.  Doing schoolwork was not a top priorty for the kids, but we were thankful they only had to do one class.  Many other children were spending a lot more time doing school work.
The rest of the day was prety much the same . . . relax, read, sun, eat a good dinner, enjoy a good show.
