Picture-A-Week 2023 - Week 50

[pierces]

Pictures taken between Monday, December 11 and Sunday, December 17.

 

Week 50. The end is near (2023, that is). I know we are all busy with pre-holiday stuff.

 

How about sharing pictures that show just how busy you are?

 

 

Rules: See above

That's it. This isn't a contest.

All photos taken this week are welcome (not just cruising).

Prizes will not be awarded. Discovering the joy of photography is the prize.

The idea is to get folks out using their cameras for more than vacations and toddler birthdays.

Post one. Post many. Up to you.

Have fun with your camera and share your fun with others!

First time out skiing this year, snow conditions were not the best, we've had rain & plus temps so hard to make snow. Hope we get a good drop of snow soon.

Back in the spring, we floated (pun intended) the idea of taking Matthew and Jackie on their first cruise for their birthdays. Their mom was all for it and we added her birthday to the mix and booked a 4-day on the Navigator of the Seas for the second week of December. As the time neared, the kids had a lot of questions about the trip. Mostly revolving around past tragedies at sea and what there was to do while not in port. All the trepidations evaporated as we crossed the bridge, and the ship came into view. We boarded, got settled and treated everyone to cocktails and mocktails in the Sky Lounge for sailaway. The rest of the trip was a whirlwind of fun, food, non-stop activity and the vicarious treat of experiencing a first cruise through the kid’s eyes.
