Majesty Bahamas Cruise


Our 3-Night Bahamas Cruise
Aboard the Majesty of The Seas
April 30 - May 3, 2010

Our "Formal Night" picture taken aboard ship.


We had EXCELLENT company!!!



As we pulled into line to leave the Port of Miami.





After the departure & Bon Voyage party, it was time for dinner!
With our favorite son and favorite daughter-in-law :)


Next morning, going ashore.................




To..................




It's Beautiful Beaches






So Much To See.............



We had a relaxing day!







Then a big lunch provided by the ship. BBQ ribs, chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, cob corn, beans, potato salad, cole slaw, mac & cheese, desserts & much, much more....all included in the price of the cruise.


Here is the covered pavillion where we had lunch.....right next to all the food stations.





Around 2:00 we headed back to the ship.






Then it's up to Johnny Rockets for 50's style burgers & milkshakes!

Keith may not have appreciated the 50's styling but he DID enjoy the desserts!




Time to relax on-board








Second Night was Formal Night!

Every night after dinner, there was entertainment in the "Chorus Line Lounge"



This night, part of the show was to introduce some of the crew members responsible for our service & meals.



One of the towel animals our Room Attendant made every day, this one is a Stingray!





The Next Morning........Nassau !











The bow is facing the docks that we take to get ashore. I think that the small ship near the center of the picture is the Bahamian Navy (all of it). Ahead & to the left is Paradise Island and the Atlantis Resort. They have a suite that rents for only $25,000.00 per night BUT there is a 7 Night minimum.



A cool morning breeze welcomes the new day.

Now facing what is called the "Festival Market"; that is the building you must pass through connecting the docks and the street.




This shot shows more of the Festival Market, the city of Nassau and (if you look real close) Piranah Joes!




I continue turning to my right as I take this next picture. In it, nestled between the two multi-story structures is the white canvas-topped original STRAW MARKET!


Waiting for our Shore Excursion to start.



After the excursion was (what else) SHOPPING!

Then we head for home & our last dinner on-board!

The weather was perfect!

The Circle of Life

Once upon a time, there was a cute little boy growing up in Florida.




shown here with his little sister...








And a beautiful little girl growing up in the Pacific Northwest and in the paradise of Hawaii!

shown here with her big sister.









Soon, this little boy turned into a handsome young man........





and the little girl into a beautiful princess!



The young man put his life on hold for 2 years to serve a mission in Nevada!






Returning home older, wiser and much more mature.


Here a small crowd at PBIA welcomes Elder Klemas home!!!


MEANWHILE,

Our Princess pursued her education at BYU.



Soon after completing his mission, the Brave Knight moved to Provo to pursue his own education.


One day, he met the Princess of his dreams and knew they should be together forever!




They wed on a chilly December morning, warmed by the love in their hearts.



The Families Became one...


He became a part of her family and she became part of his!


UNTIL !!!!!


Now
They have decided to have a family of their own!!!


WE ARE SOOOOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!

The Continuing Adventures of.........

Alayna in Paradise (East)

Posing for pictures, before the wedding, Orlando Temple.


Alayna was stunned by Anita's wedding dress & shouted out to it!

Lunch at Sweet Tomatoes before heading home!



Oh, almost forgot, we spent a rainy afternoon at Downtown Disney the day before the wedding.
On Sunday, we hosted a simple dinner for a few friends and family so Kendra & Alayna could visit with them.
