25 and Counting…on Mickey
If you are reading this right now, I am somewhere in the middle of the ocean. (My kids can tell you which one. I took geography a long time ago) If mental images of the Titanic come to mind, change the picture in your mind to Leonardo Di Caprio wearing Mickey Mouse ears. (and of course, if you saw the movie, picture Kate Winslet fully clothed.)
I want to say thanks so much to the members of our church who sent us on this 2 week Disney cruise to celebrate 25 years of pastoring the church. It has been our pleasure to serve and what a treat this is! (I’m saying this knowing it will be! I won’t be doing e-mail or blogging on board.)
A trans-Atlantic (Ok, now I remember which ocean it is) cruise is a great deal as far as Disney cruises go! So we loaded up the family and headed to Barcelona to catch the ship. Ask me after we get back if it is a good idea to travel overseas on a plane with two seven-year-olds. Luke actually turns 7 on the day we arrive in Barcelona.
We told our kids this is the trip of a life time. Alas, they really don’t have a grid for how nice this is. (They will when they have kids.)
Our kids are excited to “speak Spanish” with people in Spain. (They take Spanish in school so they kind of think they actually speak Spanish.) They do speak better Spanish than I do(which would basically be none) and you should hear Luke roll his r’s. His accent is amazing.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Now, off to look for Mickey!
Love,
Thora
