The adventure began on April 14, 2012, with a stop at my sister , Patti's house near Tampa FL. She has been kind enough to be "auntie" to Sian, the cat of the house, and she takes us across FL to Ft. Lauderdale to get on the ship. She always had a private room waiting for Sian with a view of the pool andhis own TV.
Sian giving us the "I know you're up to something" look!
We visited with Patti and the next evening Brandon and Karin arrived with Brenna and Declan. We came home from a day of shopping to find them in the kind of chilly pool!
They are young so they can take it! The next morning at 4:30 we will get up and begin the adventure.
some pool time with Mom and Dad..you will note that Mom is prudently sitting on the side.
A lot of luggage, and that does not include ours!
Always time for a little building! Declan loves to build.
4:30 A.M comes fast, loading up with Daddy!
On the ship at last! There was a short wait in Port!
Promise of future fun!!
And now the food...we are all hungry!
The weather on the cruise was pretty cool and very windy, but we managed to do some really fun things along the way! First stop was at Nassau the Bahamas.. We walked around and looked at historic places and had ice cream near the harbor! The kids met some interesting folks and bought their first treasures!
Now 6 days at sea..to fill with fun!
More later!
side note: Our Sian passed in his sleep on April 8,2013. Thanks to Auntie Patti, Partytime, Prissy, and Murphy for lovey summers spent in Florida!
