Getting off the ship, day in Fort Lauderdale

On Thursday, November 30th, we got breakfast, then got off the ship. Here are some highlights.

Carter in front of the Aquaduck entrance, waiting for our character to be called so we can get off the ship. Nyles w/ his sad face at breakfast since we have to get off the ship. We had to wait while Carrie took care of her stateroom (they were trying to charge her for a Disney excursion at Grand Cayman when we did a private one). While we waited we did some stretching. On our way out of Disney's port, after getting our luggage.

We were only 10 minutes from our hotel, so instead of taking a Lyft we decided to walk, along w/ Jeff's family. We were early (before check-in time), so we hung out in the lobby for a while. We walked over to a grocery store a little later and grabbed some food for lunch and dinner. We got checked into 2 rooms early, so we changed and took a Lyft over to the beach.

Carter, Nyles, Hudson, Steve, Jeff, Kim, Cameron and Alexa walking to our hotel from the port. Conor, Nyles and Carter playing while waiting for our room.

Back over at Fort Lauderdale beach. The waves were higher than the week before and some jelly-fish, were washing in, so we had to be careful.

Fun in the sun and waves.

Hudson loves to dig in the sand. Silly Steve drying Hudson's shirt off on his head. Phill and Isaac.

Olivia, Alexa and Claire. Carter digging in the sand.

Conor buried in the sand. Lynsie, Ryan and Carrie.

Carter, Jeff and Nyles watching the waves. Hudson buried in the sand again. Family picture.

Beautiful views!

After we got back to the hotel, Nyles and Carter wanted to swim in the pool and dive for toys.

We then ate dinner, took a shower and got ready for bed, especially since we had an early flight the next morning, at 7am, so leaving the hotel before 5am. Hudson playing w/ some dice before bed.
