A few months ago, I was invited on an "LDS Cruise" and frankly i had no idea what that meant. LDS events usually mean (for me), awkward single's settings with forced interactions and fruit punch. In a dimly lit cultural hall. These events make me unhappy. So, when I found out it was not a single's event, I was enthralled. When my email address was finally entered correctly, I found out it was an afternoon on a 65' yacht in Newport harbor.
This was much more exciting! I had been worried because the weather could best be described as dreary leading up to the big day. In fact, the week before I started thinking about canceling because who wants to be on a boat, in the cold, in the middle of January.
Luckily! I did not cancel, and on the morning of the excursion I woke up to 80 degree weather and sunny, clear skies. The perfect yacht day. It was a fun excursion with all the LDS students (and wives and kids) from the dental school. It was fun to see Ericka, Steve and Jeremy in clothes other than scrubs! Plus, who doesn't want to eat KFC on a yacht? The irony was fantastic, and I loved it. I also loved watching Jeremy eat an entire bucket of chicken. Bucket. 
It was an absolutely gorgeous day on the harbor, and while the cruise was a little on the short side, we made up for it by going for a stroll to the Newport pier afterward. While there, we saw so many scandalously clad ladies, volleyball hunks and even a pod of dolphins!
To make the trip complete, we even stopped off for some frozen yogurt on the way home! What a great day, and what a fun time. Yachting in January.
