Europe with the smiths

Marilyn is about ready to go to see the ice statues and food creations in the dining area of the ship. She chose a relaxed Chinese silk outfit with black puffy shoes and a natural look with a pull back hair style. Very chic and she was the talk of the boat for her choice of apparel.
The trio looking down one of Venice's many back alley canals or is that just back canals? We were a quite cosmopolitan group as can be seen by the cool sun glasses, visor and white pregnancy smock. We may not have been the best dressed but we were among the happiest of visitors to Venice on this day.
Versailles, Louis the XIV home. A humble little four story flat with a view. Decorations by Louis and company, at works by everyone with a name in art. It wasn't any wonder that the poor people revolted, they did however wait for Louis the XVI in order to do it. Louis XIV had all of the nobles of his country in his court, all vying for the opportunity to come and dress him in the morning, eat with him at breakfast, lunch and dinner. His adversaries were all part of his court and he created a God like image in all of their minds. He must have been quite the personality.
Louis's garden and Josh's non plussed attitude for the same. Instead of just saying cheese, Josh said Camembert!(with an attitude). MOre to follow

Dad, I'm loving your blog. Did Mare-Mares really go to the dining room in her pajamas? Because if she did, I want to take credit for freeing her inhibitions. . .

Hey Dad. These pictures are making me terribly jealous that I didn't go. Not that I can really complain since it was entirely my choice, but Europe looks awesome.
