Sailing back to reality!

It's been a busy week since school let out. I've been gone on a Disney cruise for my DMIL and DFIL's 50th anniversary. They opted to take the family on a memorable vacation rather than have a party. I'm sure that my boys will remember it their entire lives. We took a 4 day cruise that went to Castaway Cay, Nassau, and then back to Castaway Cay. There was so much to do that we didn't get to do half of the things we would have liked. The food was plentiful and oh so delicious. Low cal too, LOL! We had the chance to do some deep sea fishing and of course everyone in the family caught something except me. For whatever reason, the fish that seemed to hit on my line usually broke the line before I could land them. Our guide caught a shark and boy did that take some time to reel in. We didn't pull him in the boat - just close enough for pictures and then cut him loose.

We had a great time snorkling, bike riding, touring Nassau, and of course eating. We ran into "Captain Jack Sparrow" and the Flying Dutchman while at Casatway Cay. It wasn't Johnny Depp but boy did this guy have the speech and mannerisms down. The ship we were on was the Disney Wonder. This picture doesn't really capture the enormity of it all, but will give you the idea.

Once we got back, my DSIL and I gave our parents Creativity by Just Nan that we had round robined for their 50th. My DSIL, my husband, myself and each of the 3 grand children did something on this piece. Unfortunately, I do not have a picture of it framed. I'm going to have to get one the next time I visit. I haven't gotten anything done on my normal rotation of the larger pieces that I've got going at the moment, but I have completed the stitching for a summer exchange on the Cross Stitch Friends board. I should be able to get the finishing done sometime this week and I'll post a picture when my partner receives it.

Cheers,
