Baltic Cruise 2015 {Welcome Aboard and Helsinki}

Sunday, July 12th, we set sail from Stockholm!!
Ready to go!

It seemed strange to see land for so long.  It took several hours to get into open waters.

Convoy!
Checking out the ship.



 Time for the first dinner on the cruise!




"Wendy Vastine" and Jeremy!  Since his mom is Wendy, I am Wendy Vastine.
Wendy and Allison

A little shuffleboard at sunset.

These ice cream cones are allllright!

Doing a little dance.
Mamma Mia! in the movie theater to close out the night.
One thing we realized is we have outgrown a normal stateroom.  It was really crowded.  Next time, I think we are going to have to splurge for a family sized room or two rooms.
I am standing on Allison's bed to take the picture.
Monday morning and our arrival in Helsinki!!
These three looked like they were posing for a Super Dry advertisement.

We started the day on the Hop On Hop Off bus.
Someone was very sleepy.
But, then I was busted!
The commentary was riveting!


A stop at the market for souvenirs.
Uspenski Cathedral

There was a gymnastic competition being held outside of the Helsinki Cathedral.
Germany showing off.



We were pretty excited to find Leksi's name.
Don't worry Buddy.  Mom will be finished taking pictures soon enough.

Taking the bus back to the ship.


Formal night!

 I think cruise pictures are usually really cheesy, but some of our pics were just too funny to pass up.

He was not following the photographer's directions.  He had no idea what she was asking him to do.  
Christmas card?

This one is my favorite!





A gorgeous sunset!
My last view of the night.  LOL!

Next stop...St. Petersburg, Russia!

Until next time,
Wendy
