So for Christmas we went on a 14 day cruise to the Eastern Mediterreanean. We went to Rome, Naples, Egypt, Turkey, Athens, and the island Crete. Our friends the Cottles came to Spain to visit a few days before we left and then went on the cruise with us. Brent's mom and her husband met us in Barcelona and came with us as well.
The kids made many new friends from all over the states and from other countries too. We had a great time and we will remember all the things we did for a long time.
We found 14 days to be a little long to be eating cruise food but it really gave the kids a lot of time to make friends. No one got sick which was even better. (Unless you count sea sick) We did have a few nights that were pretty rough seas.
Santa even filled stockings on the cruise. We spent New Years at sea and had quite the parties on the ship. Many, many drunk people. They were passing out champagne and they didn't care how old they were. Mckenzie was offered some. Brent and I went to bed shortly after 1:00 but the kids were out till 3 or so.

That sounds like so much fun!!! I am so jealous of the cruise and the Cottles getting to go to Spain. How great for all of you. I am glad you are living it up. Wish I could come visit! We miss you! I love your pictures!
Love,

Wow! So many great stops on that cruise. Glad to hear your kids had a great time. What amazing memories for your family. Eating cruise food for two weeks sounds pretty good to me - no cooking and no cleaning the kitchen! Happy New Year!
