The Dean Family: August 2009

As most of you know Taylor and I just returned from a Mediterranean Cruise. I have to say it was by far the most AMAZING trip I have ever been on. We flew into Barcelona where we boarded the ship and then went to the following destinations. Naples Italy, Rome Italy, Florence Italy, Nice France, and Marseille France. Altogether it was a ten day trip. We left Logan at home with my parents and although we missed him so much, we still had a really great time. We went with Taylor's family, so there were eight of us total. The cruise ship was a blast. We did a lot of laying out by the pool and a ton of eating. I mean A TON. The cruise ship had all kinds of things to do including minature golf as well as shuffle board. Turns out shuffle board isn't just for 80 year olds. It's actually really fun and we had some serious tournaments going on between the family. To go into detail about everything we did off the boat would take forever so I will just go through some highlights from the trip. Visisting Pompeii and eating authentic pizza in Naples. Seeing the Colosseum, the Sistine Chapel and pretty much everything in Rome. Seeing the David sculpture by Michaelangelo in Florence which by the way is huge and absolutely incredible to see in person. Hanging out on the beach and going shopping in France. We are so sad it's over but it's good to be back home with Logan. We seriously took hundreds of pictures but here are a few favorites.
