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. |

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. |
