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 |
