Motown FantaSea

Several months ago, our friends all grabbed a deal on Groupon for a dinner & dancing cruise on the  Big White Boat out of Clear Lake.

We finally coordinated our schedules and ended up picking a Motown night on Sunday July 3rd.  We all got dressed up, ready to dance and headed out to the water.

Overall, the boat was really nice with an upstairs & downstairs.  We had all beer & wine included in our meal, but you could still purchase liquor.  They offer several different theme/music nights, but we thought Motown would be a blast as we sailed out from Clear Lake into Galveston Bay on a beautiful evening.

Luckily, all 6 of s were able to sit together & we were all excited to be hanging out again, so the camera came out early & stayed out all night long as we got a little rowdy.

We were the last people on the boat to eat, but we finally got through the buffett dinner and thought the food was excellent for the situation.  The sun slowly set as we exited Clear Lake (which I had NO IDEA wasn’t actually a lake, but connected to the open ocean…how did I live in Houston all my life and never know this???) and past up the Kemah Boardwalk.

I think this my new favorite picture of us.  I don’t put on make up often (enough) but this might convince me to do it more often.

We haven’t been to Kemah in ages, especially to indulge in all the tourist stuff and attractions.

Loved the area all lit up at twilight & we formulated plans for the friends to return and spend the night down there.

After dinner, the dancing started & the good times were on a roll.  I’ll just say this wasn’t the Motown music I was expecting after our visit to the real Motown, but I knew a few of the songs and we were having a blast out in the deck on a steamy summer night.

We then got smart and decided it was just as well to dance inside with the air conditioning.

This is about where the party got out of control.  We were singing, dancing. laughing, photographing and more. Some of these cam out incrediby blurry, but they still totally cracked me up as we all joked and acted silly.

Savanha owned the night through- from her patriotic shoes to busting a move on the dance floor, she had us all rolling.

All the staff were great & the captain was nice enough to answer questions about the boat, cruising and Clear Lake.  I’d highly recommend this for a group of friends.  The ship departs out of Clear Lake Yacht Club & the room rates were really reasonable, but we had to get back for our full pool on Monday.

GOOD NEWS OF THE DAY:  Thanks for all the music recs on this post.  I’ve decided to give everybody a $10 gift card to Amazon since a few people already have some Adele.
