Birthday people

On our third night on the cruise, we had the big birthday dinner for Dick and Celeste. And here they are, looking lovely in their candle tiaras. Celeste was kind enough to let me have this photo from her camera (have to give proper credit, you know!).

Happy Birthday

We got to our stateroom and unpacked. When we came out to explore the ship, the Birthday Fairy (Celeste and family) had been there and decorated our doorway for Dick's birthday. They were very quiet - we heard nothing! All of this remained there for the whole voyage; I'm sure a lot of people used it as a landmark to find their own cabins.

Foggy sailing

Our wonderful family birthday cruise last week was on the Sapphire Princess from Los Angeles to Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas and back to LA. It was quite foggy as the ship sailed in the early evening on November 22 (Dick's 80th and Celeste's 50th birthday). Fog horns blared and the shore lights reflected eerily in the water.
