GREAT Bday, but no Sea Olympics Victory..so sad

So I had amazing birthday, I would have to say it was in the top 3 best bdays in my life time. I'm not sure how I'm going to top it for 30. You really can't beat being off work, a day at sea, huge bbq, midday nap, lots of bday wishes from online to over our loud PA, ice cream 3 times, cake, gummy bears, new thing of chapstick (from Phil..much needed..haha), fun card that sings to me, but I can't read it because it's in Croatian, and more. We ended the day with a games night which was fun. We also had our Sea Olympics. There were about 8 different games. This was a very big day because the winning sea gets to get off the ship first in VA (No line for them) Matt was over the dodgeball competition, and I was over the paper boat race. The lip sync competition and synchronized swimming (a pic of our team above)were by far the funniest things we had ever seen. Unfortunately, the RED sea (our floor) fought long and hard, but did not win. They finished third to last, but that's okay (the yellow sea won). We'll be having an ice cream social for their efforts. Oh...our adopted Place family is doing well. We spend a lot of time with Tara, Lindsay and Rasheda because we see them the most and they are always open to telling us about their travels both good and bad. Bronson, Amanda, Carter, Paoline, and Sarah are good as well. We are happy say they all got good grades on their papers and aced their Global Studies midterm. We are quite proud parents. Matt was also successful at convincing Lindsay not to get a random tattoo in Croatia. We had a family movie night, and will hopefully, post a family pic soon. There is always something happening with such a large family. We off to explore GREECE and more specifically SANTORINI!!!!
