So we’re on the Norweigan Pearl for a 5-day Repositioning cruise from Vancouver B.C. to Los Angeles.  This is my first ever cruise, and I am just blown away by the size of the ship and the sheer volume of activites available and places to explore.  You’ve already seen a few pictures of some of the things we’ve been up to, here are a few more: 

Having lunch at “Blue Lagoon”:

Breakfast at “The Great Outdoors” on the Aft Deck:

Trying out the rock climbing wall (so much harder than you would think!!):

We’re on a boat!! And it’s so much fun so far! Here’s some evidence!

A.J. and Chris playing on the (netted) outdoor sports court:

A.J. and Brian posing in oh-so-suave life preservers during the mandatory safety drill:

Me and Brian on the “party limo” that was hired to get our big group down to the docks on the morning of our embarkation:

Me lounging on one of the Moroccan-inspired beds in the Bliss Ultralounge on board the Norweigan Pearl:

A.J. and Chris trying out the Shuffleboard courts on Deck 12:

Here’s A.J. and Chris getting seated for dinner in a booth that looks like a very large barrel.

We chose our dinner restaurant in Leavenworth based not only on the menu, but also (probably mostly) on the live music offered. Cafe Mozart had harp and piano, King Ludwig’s had polka, but the winner was Andreas Keller with the live accordion player. It was a hoot!

This is my warm summery vacation spot… Those hills have long hot hikes in them… but not today I guess…
It’s all part of growing up, I guess. Seeing childhood memories in a different light (or different season). I never thought I’d see snow in Kah-Nee-Ta!
