On the high seas, Days 4-7

By day three of the cruise, we finally hit land. We visited St. Thomas, San Juan (Puerto Rico) and Castaway Cay (Bahamas).

Castaway Cay, Bahamas

Our day here was a tad chilly... hence everyone decided it was a good day for a nap

Tess just titled this one "Sleepyhead"

On the high seas, Days 1-3

We started our cruise with two days at sea, followed by stops at the islands of St. Thomas and San Juan. On our last day, we visited Castaway Cay, the coveted private island owned by Disney.  Here are pictures from the first few days, before we hit land.

Ready to board!

An exhausting Sail Away Party

You can tell by the placement of everyone in this picture that two little girls weren't quite warmed up yet to the idea of standing next to Donald, much to the photographer's dismay, who tirelessly tried to move Tess on the other side of Donald... um, no thank you.
