Spring Break Cruise 2009

It is Spring Break

It was our first cruise and had a great time.

We left Tampa Sunday night the 22nd of March and spent Monday at sea. Tuesday we stopped at Georgetown Grand Caymen where we swam with the stingrays. What an experience!

Wednesday we stopped in Cozumel. We didn't spend much time on shore for there were 8 cruise ships that pulled in at the same time. Cozumel is a small island and it was crawling with people. Thursday was spent at sea and we arrived in Tampa Friday morning. After leaving the ship we flew home. Saturday we spent time going through our videos and pictures reliving the great time that we had. As we did so the house continued to rock back and forth all day long!!!


To the lifeboats!

Here is a video of life aboard the SS Veendam. The video starts by showing Marion enjoying the sun!

The best part of the cruise was meeting people from all over the world. Beautiful people who we became friends with and enjoyed pool time and gormet meals with. THE FOOD!! My goodness - I know we didn't have to eat all that they put in front of us but ------ it was soooooo goooooood!

Are you drooling?

Duck a la Orange

Fiesta!

tonight's entertainment?!

Celebrating our 39th Anniversary -- a week early

Well, it is time to go back to reality. Not that hard this time for some reason. It was very fun and relaxing.

We might even do it again sometime.

Spring?

Is spring here?!

Today Ayden, Aubrey and Papa made a snowman in Papa and Nana's backyard. Aubrey came up with a unique name for the snowman --- Frosty.

We had a great time making the snowman. After making Frosty we headed for a park a couple of blocks away and played on the swings and the slide. The kids had a great time and we shared laughter and giggles. As Ayden walked to the park he jumped into every puddle and walked in whatever water he could find. He had a great time. Oh the joy of being a little boy! It all brought back memories for me of my wonderful childhood.

Here are pictures of Frosty, Ayden, Aubrey and Papa.

And the question was ---- Is spring here? By the looks of Frosty at the end of the day I think so. Either that or Frosty is trying to do a little scuba diving in our backyard.
