New England Cruise

Our New England cruise was fantastic - well there was the rain in Saint John . . . that was interesting. We took a photography tour - ideas to make our photos turn out spectacular. I learned quite a bit - but mostly, I learned how to take pictures in the rain with a camera that can't get wet. Basically, I got really wet while keeping my camera dry. On the cruise we did a lot of eating, sleeping, wandering around and mostly just hanging out together.

We stopped at Boston, Portland, Saint Johns and Halifax. We even brought the kids candy from Canada. If you don't know about Smarties - you're missing out. They're like M&M's, sort of. The cruise was a nice de-stresser, although about day 4 I really started missing my kids. It was wierd to be gone for so long . . . now that I'm home and the laundry has started, maybe it would be nice to be back on the ship where everything is done for you - they even turn down your bed at night and leave you a little chocolate. It really can't get any better - Gunnar even asked about his favorite part - 24 hour ice cream. We might have seen the ice cream a few too many times. Ahhh - it was great! Now back to the real world! Here are a few of my favorite pictures:

Looks wonderful, I do love the lighthouse pic, did you do any effects or is that the original? I know what you mean, the break is nice except for missing the kids but coming back to real life is tough.
