Greek Island Cruise starting from Venice

We flew into Venice on a Friday night, spent the night at a hotel, and then took a water taxi (60 Euros for a 10 min. ride) to the Norwegian Gem. (Boy is Venice expensive!) This was the beginning of our week long vacation with a few other families from school.

There's our ship!

R's face looks a little contorted here because he was sucking on a gummy worm under his upper lip. Nice.

The view from the cruise ship leaving port in Venice.

Many people were in my way, so this was one of the only good shots I got. Of course, my husband who is taller than most was being lazy (already in the relaxing cruise mode) and wouldn't come take pictures. Next stop: Croatia - home of the necktie!
