Travel & Vacation: Adventure Ocean’s Family Arcade Night

Found a fun one to play together!

Earlier today we were able to take a ferry off the boat to visit Grand Cayman Island, explored the island, took a chartered boat ride, swam with the stingrays,  and snorkeled.  When we got back to the boat later that day we had fun with all the activities on the ship.  The older four kids really enjoyed the time they spent at the Adventure Ocean’s club specifically for kids their age. Normally, when we took the kids to the club activities you had to walk through a room full of arcade games (which you had to pay to play).

Tonight they had Family Arcade Night and all the games were free.  Yippee! Since the girls had been wanting to play a few of the games we figured it would be a fun activity for them.  They had a blast playing the games both by themselves and even a few together.   It was a lot of fun having the girls with us on the cruise this year.  We were able to do some different activities that we had never participated in while on other cruises.  Little activities like this were a lot of fun for the kids and parents both!

This one just makes me laugh!  Brina and Karlie playing an arcade game together.

Brina trying out another car racing game.  She really liked the races, wonder if that means she’ll have a lead foot when she starts driving!?  Hm….

Always a good sign when all the regular games at the arcade say “Free”!  This was the only time we walked through the Adventure Ocean area and saw free on the arcade games.  Glad we took the opportunity to “play” for a little bit!

The “Travel and Vacation” series is an insight into our trips together as a family and ways we relax.  Life is short and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to build memories with family and explore of of the most amazing places during our time away.  Explore with a good attitude, look for fun, and it will be an awesome trip jammed packed with positive memories.  It is refreshing having some time away from the regular routine.  Make it a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet new people and learn.  You just might see or try something new that takes your breath away!
