Queen Mary

On Sunday, our last day on vacation, we went to the Queen Mary ship for a champagne brunch.

The Queen Mary was an actual cruise ship from the 30's to the early 60's. This ship even went to battle in WWII. The Queen Mary was once the elitest way to travel & celebrities and royals even traveled on this ship. It has since been renovated to be a hotel & house multiple restaurants

There was a HUGE buffet in a large banquet room. I felt like we were on the Titanic. haha. They literally had everything you could imagine from breakfast omelet stations to pasta table to mexican feasts.



Here is my first plate - stir fry rice, a veggie dumpling, ahi tuna, & cheese and crackers.

Here is Erik's - Pancakes, egges, hashbrowns, & a croissant. Very different!

The Luna Guys

After brunch, we walked around the ship. It is huge!

After Queen Mary, we went back to the house to relax & watch football. We were a little nervous about how Evie would be with the family but she was great. She wasn't scared or anything. She wanted to play with everyone & even stayed up late with Erik's dad to rest on the couch. She does love her Uncle Jaime, too!



But snuggled with Daddy to take a nap.

After watching football all afternoon, we headed to Gallagher's for a little bit. It is a local Irish pub in the neighborhood. We came home around 8 and finished off vacation with a bottle of Alpha Omega wine.



So delish!

On Sunday night, we started to pack up and get ready to leave on Monday morning. The Luna's had a flight in the early afternoon and we were driving back. It was really a great vacation. I loved that we picked a new place to visit and were able to explore with family. This allowed everyone to see a new place and do something different.
