Day Two – Sammy’s Moon Trip
…….DAWN………
Good Morning Everybody! Hope you all had a good night’s sleep in your rooms. I sure did………put my head on the pillow and WHAM BAM it was morning! First thing is breakfast………….follow me……….
That was nommy – now for some FUN!
Have some fun but be careful – don’t wander off and make sure you keep your gravity belts set on a high enough setting that you don’t float away…….
Next stop – a wonderful botanical gardens – you can take your helmets off inside this place – it’s just like home.
Now I thought we’d walk over to the Stardust Hotel’s Lunar Luncheonette for a spot of lunch! Sit anywhere you want and remember we have a big awards banquet tonight so eat light!
….Later that evening after resting and dressing for dinner….
Take your plate and head to the banquet hall!
Nommy food! On with the show!
I’ve got to say that the contests were TOUGH – REALLY TOUGH – everyone did so well and the winners were based on those who got the MOST votes cast in the categories. Remember we have THREE prizes for Spacesuit Decoration because we had so many entries! EVERYONE gets a congratulations for working so hard!
THE WINNERS ARE……………….
Happy Birthday Lily Olivia! What a very special trip this has turned out to be. Wonderful winners but we think you are all winners. Enjoy you last night and see you on the way back.
