A Baltic Cruise

This is our cruise boat, Brillance of the Seas from Royal Carribean.  We
took a cruise of the Baltic Region with Jon's mom, dad and Alexa.  It was a nice
mix of touring cool towns and relaxing on the ship!  Best part: Kids Club for Alexa!

Window Shots on the Cruise!

Stockholm, Sweeden

Alexa's first Bar experience!




She looked like an angel...but quickly she was cold
and ready to go!



As we toured around, we told Alexa the story of th Vasa ship that sunk 330 years ago.  Since then, she has become obsessed!
Somehow it stuck in her mind and she is always talking about the Vasa, the people that died, how it sunk, etc. etc. 

Famous Horse Representing Sweden.  We bought a minuture one to bring home,
looks just like this one!


A super cool slide in Sweeden
