Time For An Update: Cruise Part One

February was eventful because we went on our first cruise, on the Serenade of the Seas, Royal Caribbean.
Planning for the trip was lots of fun, and included a ride down to St. Louis with the dogs.  They were invited to stay with Annie and Shotzie while we cruised the high seas. Here are some pictures from Annie's:
The Butterfly painting (with knife attached to the back of the frame) that Chris made Annie for her birthday.

Annie's Christmas present from Chris and Steph.  She asked for  things to put on her walls and utensils.... here is the gift that fulfilled both requests!






Back at home we packed... 

And the next thing we knew, we met up with Deb and Bruce at the Detroit airport.

Next Stop Puerto Rico!


There it is.. The Boat!!!!





We all went aboard...

Here are pictures of our stateroom....


I especially liked the bathroom.... it was cozy!

After getting a bit settled, we went on a tour of the ship.  This was the center of the ship, from where you could see all of the decks.


Bruce and Deb posed for the photographer
