Freedom of the Seas Cruise, Miami day 1

Out of order pic, we finally get on the ship. We walked all over town in the morning and then walked over to the port, so this day we did like 20,000 steps and my face was hot and sweaty and showed it ha ha.

We did a red eye flight, but then did some public transport and got to the Bayside Marketplace, which is right next to the port for the most part, minus the big bridge. 

Ryan was hungry for breakfast so he ate some pastries at this little cafe that was open early. 

Outside the entrance.

They had started decorating for Christmas. 

This tree was VERY cool and huge. I can't remember exactly now but I think it was a Banyan tree? 

Pretty Christmas tree. Still weird to be in warm weather around Christmas time for me. Hasn't happened very often. 

Near downtown Miami. I think other than NYC, Miami definitely has the biggest skyline of tall buildings in a US city I have been to. They had a TON of tall buildings. And their metrorail goes all around the top in the middle of them if it makes sense. 

Heading to the port over the bridge. This was only about half the city skyline, but I thought it was a cool picture. 

Yeah for almost getting on the ship!
