Cruise Expedition

Well, it's been some time since we've been back from our 5 year Anniversary Honeymoon now. The time just slips by.The ship in the background with me on the beach, and the inside of the ship. There was a grand staircase with 4 glass elevators to the 13 floors.
Dennis and I were treated by my parents to a Cruise to Mexico. It was a wonderful experience. Below: My parents in one of the fancy dinning areas flr the Captain's Dinner. We attended the Marriage Seminars put on by Family Life, and were able to stop at four different ports along the Mexican coast. The conference was refreshing and had so many neat insights to our marriage. Swimming in the Ocean was amazing, and we were able to go snorkeling in Cabo San Lucas with my family. Dennis below, pretty much engulfed by the waves.The ship had 2,800 passengers, not including the numerous staff. Apparently Norwiegan Cruise Lines is coming out with a bigger ship in 2008 that takes on 5,000 passengers. I think the 2,800 passenger one was large enough! The food was incredible and wow, could you ever eat there! I am pretty sure I was almost ready to roll home. Our baby probably gained a couple of pounds in only 8 days!! The boys stayed home with Opa and Oma Van Ee and had a blast there, (Thank you so much again!!) Opa even made a special little partition wall and cubicle rooms, decked out with a little bed for Nicolaas. So cute! They didn't miss us too much. I am sure I missed them more. But I knew they were in good hands. Below: My sister Joella and her husband Brad were also with us.
