We're going to audit a class tomorrow morning to see if she likes it and can handle it. We don't have tights but I'm hoping they'll still let her dance. I'll obviously be the crazy person taking a million photos

I’m so excited for her!! (and you!) Take a million pics.. and then share some here!

If you lived closer she'd have a stack of tuille tutus. All I ever get to make for the guys are brown, blue or plaid things.

Oh, what a sweet little ballerina. I had one of those. Now she is older and does stuff like this.

This was her second recital. One of the dances was Bumblebee Boogie.

Take as many pictures as you can. It all flies by, faster than you realize.

That something that baffles me regarding cruise ships.

Royal Caribbean for example, announced it will move one of the Quantum ships to Seattle for Alaska itinerary.. and I'm baffled on HOW THE HELL A HUGE SHIP LIKE THE QUANTUM CLASS can fit in the narrow passages?

When I was at the wonder, we had a bigger Princess ship behind us if I remember correctly, and a same sized Holland American Line (RYNDAM) infront.

And the Princess had to maneouver so slowly in the Sawyer Glacier area (there are 3 VERY narrow areas in Tracy's arm).

I cant imagine a Quantum (20 % bigger than the Grand Princess , 280meters vs 340meters) slowly doing a "turn" in the glaciers area in Alaska. or Fitting in small ports like Ketchikan.


In the other hand, speaking of the new Disney ships.

They are way bigger in gross tonnage (almost 6,000 GT than the Fantasy) but having less capacity (3500 vs 4000 people). Makes me wonder if it will have way more large "family" rooms and suites. Similar to the Quantum and Oasis class.. with its 2 floor lofts and suites.

I don’t get it either. The Norwegian Bliss is also doing Alaska, and that’s a huge ship too. I don’t think it’s doing Glacier Bay though, which is a must if we go.
How did you like your Alaskan cruise?
This is the 2nd consecutive year when I have booked it, then chickened out and switched itineraries. My son wants to do it so badly.. but I DON’T! I’d rather save Alaska until I’m a little older.. I want warm right now. Also with him, some of the excursions I think are better for when he’s a few years older, i.e. Kayaking in Orca Bay.. I would be a nervous wreck with him right now.. I’d rather him be a little stronger kayaker first.
But... everyone raves about Alaska.. are you going to make me feel guilty by doing the same?

Nice but I have a question. What is with all the round in new housing. What's wrong with straight walls?

Have you not read my post, or remember the other styles I've posted before that we also do...?!?!?!
Just one example...

And this, as well...

 

[StarWarsGirl]

Hmph. Overtime.

That's why I asked you. And sorry if the question came out sounding rough I'm going on no sleep. It's just seen so many newer buildings with round walls lately

 

[Figgy1]

Hmph. Overtime.

Down payment

 

[Go.Nijntje]

Safe travels and can we get a TR? please

I Second the Please!

It will probably be a quite boring trip report but I will happily share what I am up to.

 

[donaldtoo]

Bottom line, we kick a$$ all the way and will find a way to "architect" anything any client wants. Everything from man caves to two-story woman closets like in the home of the pic I posted earlier.
They got the money, we got the time...!!!!!!!

Too cute.
Here is me as a ballerina

 

[Figgy1]

Me

 

[donaldtoo]

My apologies if I may have sounded a bit harsh to any of y'all here. The week has been a good one overall, but, a bit overbearing at times, besides today.
Again, my sincerest apologies.
Now, on with the show...!!!
