2007 Summer Vacation

Our Ship: Monarch of the Seas

Day 1: Sailing

Heading to Dinner


Day 2: San Diego


On the double-decker bus headed for the Gaslamp District to SHOP

David as the stereotypical foreign tourist. We were the only two on the top on our ride back to the ship and had fun yelling, "Peace! Freedom! We love America!" with accents- use your imagination. Probably my favorite part of the ride.

Formal night: A photo of the photo one of the ship photographers took of us. We just didn't feel like paying the $17 for it. Sue us. I suppose they could...

Day 3: Catalina Island

On the tender between the ship and Catalina- one of our only non-arm-length photos from the trip. We were brave enough to ask the foreigners across from us to take the photo.

Day 4: Ensanada

We got off the ship, walked a few blocks, walked in and out of 3 stores, then got right back on the bus to return to the ship. We have zero pics from filthy Ensanada... but here are pics of our evening on the ship.

Day 5: Return to L.A.

The rest of the days: Visiting Relatives in SoCal

Unfortunately we didn't even think about taking pics of or with all/any of the Ower relatives we visited. Definitely regret that- but here is a pic of us during the relative-visiting.
