Today we were getting on our cruise. The whole family was excited, it made it even more exciting that grandma and grandpa arrived the day before and had a cabin on the cruise right beside us.
As we drove up the the port from the hotel we came upon the ship, actually three ships! These beasts loomed in the harbour like massive buildings that had no business being on the water.
The boarding was a bit tedious and slow but once we walked on we were greeted by a whole gaggle of crew members who announced, for each separate family, "welcome aboard to the Torgerson family!", who then cheered and hooted as we walked on.
Everything after that is kind of a blur. We could write in detail about everything. But we will try to pick out some highlights later on.
But we will leave you with the ginger bread house as an example of how the cruise has been. It is over 6 feet tall and an easy 20 feet wide, and is actually made out of ginger bread! When you get within 10 feet of it the ginger smell is amazing.
Our youngest wanted to go inside to which we told him he wasn't allowed. His answer was "ok, then daddy come with me.", because I could have.
