Real Computer, Real Blogging, Real Pictures.....

Finally back to Razorback Country where fires break out in water parks and people don't look like ghosts wearing white sheets who have white out fights during snowstorms. That was a little much, but it feels really good to be back home. Just in case you were wondering, I finally fixed the pictures on the two previous posts if you want to check them out. They probably aren't as exciting now but at least they are complete.

Me and Cort had a great vacation but came to the realization that 5 days is long enough for a cruise. Good food, spectacular scenery, lots of old people, lots of drunk people, lots of diversity, and lots of the word "lots" makes this sentence grammatically incorrect. Seriously though, the trip was fun but maybe just a little long. I would highly recommend it to people who enjoy 50-65 degree weather, like to eat a lot, would splurge for a room with balcony, enjoy non-stop scenery of snow-capped mountains and large glaciers, and like small touristy towns with 28 jewelery stores in each one!

My favorite part about the cruise was getting served a four-course meal every night and eating it and just walking away! They served some fancy food that we weren't too familiar with, but most of it was really good and they also served up an awesome melting chocolate cake with ice cream for dessert. Here's a picture of Cort on one of our formal nights. It appears that she enjoyed her dinner so much that she licked the plate clean. It could also be that they haven't served us dinner yet.......I'm not sure. I have a feeling she will make sure that I'm sure that it was the latter, so here's a makeup compliment to offset it: She was stunningly beautiful that night. That should do it.
Cortney's favorite part of the cruise was her roommate and the little towel animals that they made everyday. We even took a class to learn how to fold some ourselves!

Thanks to everyone for asking how the trip went. It was very relaxing and definitely a new experience for the both of us. I plan on posting a little more about it on Wednesday with a lot of pics. Oh, and if you couldn't figure out the question to the t-shirt pic below.......then tough luck because I'm not going to say it!

I am glad it was a good trip! Did you like the actual cruise? We are wanting to go on one sometime but I have heard that it's really rocky, like it makes you "seasick"...just curios!!

Yes, we liked the actual cruise. After the first day we adjusted to the movement. If it got rough then we could tell, but not enough to matter. I would suggest five day cruises because it seemed like seven days was to long and I figure three would be too short.
