~The {LOVE} Boat... days 1, 2, 3, & 4~


~We arrived in Rome, Italy for our 10 year anniversary - 10 Day Eastern Mediterranean cruise. I was feeling pretty sassy with my suitcase.. and it made it so easy to find everywhere we went. It was our first cruise and we had the time of our lives! It will definitely be the first of many, many cruises that we go on~


~We did these "feet" pictures on every stop along the way! Not a bad view out our window... the fun was just beginning~


~Rules, Safety, Rules, Safety.. why do I have such a hard time taking this stuff seriously? We could not start the cruise without an emergency evacuation drill. I had my vest on all wrong.. we made it obvious we didn't watch the safety video on our tv :( Busted!~


~And we are off! The sun was shining.. the breeze was blowing.. let the relaxation begin! I am telling you... cruising is the life!~


~It was so fun to sit out on our balcony and see these beautiful islands as we cruised along to our next stop~


~First Stop...Dubrovnic, Croatia~


~It was a beautiful town with a fortress wall completely surrounding the old town~


~Enjoying our first stop.. so many new things to see~


~We did our best to get off the beaten path and enjoy some sights that we could enjoy all on our own~


~Our second port stop was in Corfu, Greece. We decided to do the "Kickin Corfu" excursion where we got to take some jeeps and get off the beaten path and see parts of this island that you would never get to see any other way. We loved the adventure!


~We got high up on the hill and this is what we were able to see. Greece is a gorgeous place. The water was so blue/green~


~You cannot come to Greece and not enjoy some of the delicious baklava - it was very good~


~More views from our jeep excursion!~


~This was our jeep team! Luckily for Steve.. our friends did not know how to drive a manual. He was thrilled that he got to be in control. Lots of honking, close encounters with other cars, and plenty of laughs~


~This is the old town of Corfu, Greece. I loved the rooftops, and all of the history~


~Old Town - Corfu, Greece~

~We definitely picked the most perfect time to go to Greece. The flowers were all bright and in bloom and the weather was perfect. Not too hot, and blue skies daily~

I want you to know it is hard to come back to the farm after you've been to all the "big places" :) I feel greedy wishing I could go to Greece after the wonderful time we had with you guys this summer. However, after looking at your pictures I am going to keep a mediterranean cruise on the wish list for sure! Kiss our little buddies for us because we are missing them big time! Love, Mom & Dad

Gorgeous photos! We did the 7 day cruise and loved it. It's weird I thought you guys had done the cruise thing before. Guess not!
