Our Day at Sea

Saturday was our day at sea. Ron and Chris got 3rd place in the mini golf tournament. :)

Scaling the wall again

Date night at Izumi, a delicious Japanese restaurant on the top deck of the ship

After dinner ping pong game

We participated in the Battle of the Sexes game. Chris was the winner of the "Sing Off" (but the ladies won the game at the end)

Midnight on the Baltic Sea

Sunday morning we pulled back into Stockholm. Here's Camden with his favorite souvenir (and Genies). It was an unforgettable trip! :)

Riga, Latvia

The final port of call on our cruise was Riga, Latvia. Here is the Dome Cathedral in the heart of the old town.

The best 5 Euro we spent on the trip :)

We found a giant horse to ride

Rubbing the Bremen Town Musician statue for good luck

Latvian Lunch

The Three Brothers - oldest stone houses in the city

Back on the ship, Camden tries out climbing on the rock wall

Emma makes it to the top!

Our third port of call was Tallinn, Estonia. The charming Medieval Old Town was a joy to explore.

All dressed up for our second formal night

We began our second day in St. Petersburg with a boat ride around the canals of the city. Peter the Great wanted St. Petersburg to be the "Venice of the North". Many of the canals have been filled in, but it is still a great way to see the city.

Sweet smiles :)
