Hicks Family Cruise 2009

So I know the cruise was a long time ago, but I have not posted a blog since then. We took our cruise June 21st (3 months ago) and had a GREAT time! We sailed on Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas out of Port Canaveral, Fl. David's grandparents (Mimi and Granddad) loved it so much that about two weeks after we got back, they decided they wanted to take us on another cruise next summer. It's already booked for July 4th on the same ship...can't wait! Here are a some pictures from this year's cruise.

In Labadee...on top of the "Dragon's Breath." When the water hits the rocks, it sounds like a dragon's breath. That is our ship behind us too.
