Western Caribbean Cruise - 2010

We love hanging out with our children and their families. Besides having tons of fun, the purpose of this trip was to celebrate Chris' 40th birthday. Most of our family was able to go and we thought a lot about those that weren't able to go with us; Jeff, Bridget, Cece, and Leah.

We flew first class (thanks, Matt) down to Orlando and then a shuttle to Port Canaveral on Friday, January 22nd. We spent Friday night at the Radisson Hotel at Port Canaveral.


From the balcony of our hotel room we could see our cruise ship, the Carnival Dream.

Three of us had adjacent rooms so we were able to share 2 of the 3 balconies.




As the ship was leaving port, this is the look Caleb got when he saw his first dolphins.

And you didn't take the ENTIRE FAMILY along? Just kidding... Looked like you had a big blast. :-)
Wow, Imagine how much $$$ if you took the WHOLE Christensons and their families... Probably could run in millions.

Your trip was priceless, I bet.
