Another Day at Sea

We slept in a little today.  In other words, we didn't see the sunrise; but, we were at breakfast around 8am.  We pulled out the Fun Times again and put together a schedule of activities.  We decided to go to one of the lounges to play a few rounds of trivia:  Divas, Musicals, Movie Themes, Sports, Sci-Fi (by accident - we really just watched all the geeks and nerds play).  Kelley and I participated in a slot tournament (with no luck!), then we all participated in the Genius Test (with no luck there, either!). 

After lunch, we went to John Heald's Marriage game, which was pretty entertaining.   Zach needed to attend the final art auction.  Remember when Zach entered to win a piece of art by guessing the value of the Peter Max painting?  They were finally getting around to naming the winner, and Zach wanted to be there.  After the gallery folks auctioned off a few items, they stopped to do the giveaway.  The emcee of the event made a comment that it may take a while to find the winner because they go in order of from best guess to worst guess, and you must be present to win.  But who had the most accurate guess?  Yep.  It was Zach.  Unfortunately, he didn't win the $27,000 piece of art, but he did get to pick out a nice painting from a collection and have it shipped home.  Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is a souvenir. 

I spent the later part of the afternoon in McGuire's Sports Bar watching the Coca-Cola 600 (Jimmie Johnson won.) before heading upstairs to get ready for dinner.  It was the second and final formal night of the cruise.  Since Kelley missed the first one, we were hoping she would have a chance to enjoy this one.  But...she only made it through the first course.  She seemed to be particularly sensitive to the motion in the dining room, although I rarely noticed it.  When she didn't return in a bit, Zach went up to check on her.  Unfortunately, he returned alone with instructions to finish our meal.  After dinner, Zach decided maybe he should take Kelley to the infirmary, but when they got there (down in the bowels of the ship) they were closed; however, the doctor was still there.   She took her blood pressure and temperature (free of charge) and sent her to bed with instructions to come back if she wasn't feeling better in the morning.  

Hard to believe, but once again, we are in bed before 11 pm.  It must be a new record, but as I am reminded, it's really 3 am at home.   Speaking of time change, we are leaving Alaskan time tonight and going back to Pacific.  This means we will lose an hour.  Tomorrow we will be visiting Victoria, British Columbia, but we will not arrive until 3pm.  Depending on how Kelley is feeling, we may not even get off the ship.
