After the Cruise - I Park

This is a newly remodeled park right by the apartment where James and Kelly live that is called I Park.  The kids had a great time on it.

Dream Vacation - Ancona, Italy

Ancona was founded by settlers from Syracuse about 387 BC, who gave it its name: Ancona is a very slightly modified transliteration of the Greek Αγκων, meaning "elbow"; the harbor to the east of the town was originally protected only by the promontory on the north, shaped like an elbow.

Dream Vacation - Kotor Montenegro

Dream Vacation - Kotor, Montenegro - It is 20 centuries old but there is historical evidence from the 14th Century. I loved this place. We hired a driver, Milan, to take us around. He happened to have a sister living in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Dream Vacation - Argostoli Greece

Argostoli had its first small settlement built about the mid-16th century. This was a beautiful place.  I got a blue Opal ring here.

Dream Vacation - Athens, Greece

The Acropolis has been both a fortress and the religious centre of the state. The principal cult was that of the goddess Athena and in her honour splendid temples were constructed on the Acropolis. The Parthenon was built in the last half of the 5th century B.C.  I couldn't believe that I was actually there seeing all of this with my own eyes.

Dream Vacation - Corfu, Greece

Corfu is an island in the Ionian sea. The first know Greek settlement on the island was made by the Eretrians from Euboea around 775-750 BC.  The beach was beautiful.

Fun at Lagoon

We had a fun day at Lagoon.  Nica and I decided we didn't want to go on Rattle Snake Rapids because we didn't want to get wet, so we stayed out and took pictures.  Everyone else got soaked.

Dream Vacation - Next Stop Dubrovnik, Croatia

Dubrovnik is a city and port on the Adriatic Sea. It came into being probably during the 7th century. It was all so beautiful.

Roger and Wendy's Big Reveal

We had a family dinner on Sunday so those that didn't know all ready could guess what Wendy was having.  Stacy, Dani and Nica guessed that it was a boy and Brian and Britti guessed a girl.  Earlier we called the Longmores in Germany and Grace and Lauryn both guessed a girl and Joshua said it was a boy.  Everyone was excited to find out Wendy was going to have a girl in December.  Roger has all ready made a flute so he can play music for his daughter now so it will help calm her when she is born.  He is planning all the things he is going to teach her.  They will both make great parents!!!  This will be our 7th grandchild and our 6th granddaughter.

Dani's Soccer Team Wins Another Gold Medal

These girls did an awesome job.  Out of their 4 games only one team was able to score on them!!!

Dream Vacation part 2

Venice was awesome but very crowded.  It was neat to see the canals and gondolas. 

Happy 40th Anniversary to my husband Lynn.

A Dream Vacation - Starts with A Cruise on the Adriatic Sea

I'll have to post my pictures one port at a time, it will take me a while so be patient.

Lynn and I landed in Germany on Saturday, June 26th.  Kelly was there to meet us and we immediately drove to her home and picked up the rest of the family.  We stayed over night in Innsbruck, Austria.  All of you might not know but Lynn buys me a ring in each new country we visit.  I ended up with 5 rings this trip.  What a beautiful place Austria is.  The Alps are amazing.

This is Lynn in front of the resturant where we ate dinner.
