Hey Dad - Actually, we'll be putting "near Chicago" on the map. That's what we have to tell most foreigners so that they can have some idea of where we live. To most non-US citizens, our country consists only of the east and west coasts. AND, if they have heard of KC, the follow-up question is always about the Wizard of Oz!

Awesome views and blog notes. (wondering what the people you are meeting are telling their friends? You will put Lees Summit on the map for sure!)

Uncle randy - we are on Royal Caribbean and the ship is Splendour of the Seas.

Thanks for the call today for my birthday! Wish we could have talked longer however I was in the middle of a piano lesson! It was great to hear from you & it sounds like your cruise is awesome! Can't wait to hear more about it! Love you both!

What's the cruise line and ship name that you're on?

Happy Father's Day Dad!
Love Hanley
Miss you too Mom!

Plymouth also made a vehicle called a Belvedere, but also, probably before your time.
Sounds like each day, more awesome than the previous. Anxious for the next post. Keep safe, and love you both.

Doug, you win! Thanks...we were fairly certain about the 80s sitcom option, but it didn't seem the fit the context :-) Thanks!!!

Belvedere - An architechural structure designed to take advantage of a spectacular view, or the butler on an 80's sitcom, take your choice.

Happy 3rd anniversary! What a wonderful trip to celebrate this special day! Have an incredible time on the rest of your trip! We love you both very much!

Kudos for standing your ground with the train conductor... but where's the video of that? lol Happy Anniversary!! I remember the chocolate fountain the most. Continue to have a wonderful trip and be safe. Love reading the blogs.

Happy 3rd anniversary! Enjoy every minute of it!
An anniversary you will never forget!
We love you!
