Cruise Day 1: Ciao Venezia!

June 4, 2011

Today we started our Mediterranean cruise. A friend dropped us off at the cruise terminal, we boarded the boat, and the boys enjoyed their afternoon playing. They took a quick nap in the stroller while we waited for our room to be ready, and here we are on our balcony.
The balcony was great! It had 2 chairs and a little table just the boy's size for tipping over, crawling around, and standing up on.
The sliding door to our room was also a big hit. They could see themselves in the reflection and sometimes one was on one side and one on the other--good times playing!
We have been to Venice many times but this was a great way to see it from high up and a little farther away.

Coming up on St. Mark's Square.
Eli is a funny little guy.
Porter is actually laughing although it doesn't look like it.

Ashley and Matt's hotel, where they celebrated their 10 year anniversary, is on the right side just over the bridge.
We couldn't have asked for better weather as we left Venice. It was a beautiful day and we had great views of the city with the setting sun.
Dinner the first night with our jokesters in their high chairs.
The end of our first day on the ship. Ciao Italia! We arrive in Dubrovnik, Croatia tomorrow.
