This is what Red Mountain pass looked like as we were coming home from Cynth's graduation. We were following Staci, as you can see we have had a little snow sofar this year. Friday we wern't sure we could go over Red mtn be cause Blue point had slid and they were doing avalance control. They reopened the pass just a few minutes before we left home. We sure love the mountains. This is one of the little resturants we stopped at in key west. What a difference in temp from red mountain. And of course mom cought me with the cell to my ear. The boss called me on vacation to get some information. When I answered he said what are you doing answering you phone for? Then he said I am sure glad you did.
Here is one of the pool decks on our ship. It had a salt water pool, a fresh water pool as well as several hot tubs and spas. What a life, a bad case of roughing it eh.

Well when I get home next week mabe I'll post some more picts of our most recient exploits.

Last weekend we went to Durango for Cynthia's graduation. She was graduatating from Fort Lewis College with her BAin education. We just couldn't miss that. She has done very well and graduated with honors. Suma Cum Laud. We wnt down on friday after Brain and Beka got out of school, and then we took the Polar Express train ride that evening. The Durango and Silverton train sets up the polar express santa train. It was verycool. They ride you out on the rain for about 10 miles and read the Polar Express story and then they have set up a little North Pole out in the wilderness and santa and his helpers get on the train and give everyone a little bell on the way back to town. The children enjoyed it very much. We did also. Then Saterday morning we went to the graduation. It was very nice also but I am used to the hupla that we do at our schools so it was a little "Hickish" but very nice. The picture of all the student's together are the adult education students and the professor that was responsible for them. They started with 12 student's and graduated 7. We wern't able to catch Cynth with her cap on so we just caught her in her gown. As you can see she looked drained. The couple with the three kids was the gal Cynth went to and from Durango and home with. She is a good friend. There's mom with one of the bakers on the train and of course then ther is santa.

Well it is time for my annual blogg. We just go back from the cruise we have been planning for the better part of the year. We scheduled the cruise with the liberty magazine group. We had about 125 people for the liberty meetings on the cruise. We were scheduled to leave Fort Lauderdale, Fl. on Dec 3rd and were to go to Key West spend a day there and then go on to Cozumel, Mex. When it came time to leave Key West, the ship had a computer crash and they couldn't couldn't steer the ship. Well they had to fly in some computer whiz's and they spent all night and till 2pm the next day getting it fixed and getting all the clearances from the various alabet agencies to allow us to proceed. Well the ship couldn't get to Cozumel and then back to Ft. Lauderdale on time. Soooooooo we ended up going to Nassau in the Bahamas. It was very nice and we had a good time, but we were all psyched up to go to Cozumel. OHHHHH Well. In Nassau we saw Opera's 50 mil house, and Tom Cruise's house along with Chuck Norris place and a number of others. The Beaches were a beautiful white and if we had planned on Nassau it would have been great. Sabbath afternoon we went on a semi submarine out about three miles into the carribean to the Bahamas national underwater park. The semi sub is a boat with a basement that goes down about 8 ft. and has glass windows down both sides. We were able to see sharks and barricuda and about a thousand different kinds of tropical fish. The park does'nt allow swimming or diving so the habitat is pristine and very beautiful. We went over a couple of old wrecks and thatwas very interesting. Jerilyn took a bunch of pictures and I will try to get some of them on the blogg. The top Left picture is Bub with Kermit of the Key Lime pie fame frome the cooking network. The top right is of the Micael Jackson suite at the Atlantis Hotel. The bridge looking thing is the suite and goes for 25,000 a nite if you can believe that. The lower left is a picture of our ship the Infinity. It was a beautiful boat. The lower right is the grand staircase that goes from the 3rd deck to the dining room on the 4th deck. It was a wonderful ship and we did have a good time. I beter quit for now but will post more for later and will post more pictures then.
