Cruisin' Together (like that Huey Lewis song from Duets)

We had no idea what to expect from the ferry/cruise from Stockholm to Riga, so Kathleen and Jason were the perfect guinea pigs to try it out (insert evil laugh here). Turns out it is a fairly large cruise, nice in a way that I imagine Atlantic City to be nice. We had a nice little cabin for the 4 of us, a restaurant, entertainment, dancing and most importantly- a duty-free shop. They say do not open stuff on the ship, but there are no regulations, um, at all, so everyone does and it turns into a crazy party boat. Some people had a little too much fun:

We decided to join the life of the party

There was some pretty funny entertainment (actually it wasn’t terrible compared to our last real cruise), but we made our own entertainment on the dance floor:

We never knew Kathleen was so good at the Pop and Lock!!! (Note: Not sure that is the actual name if the dance move, if you happen to know the real name, let me know, it has been driving me crazy!)

My favorite part was winning a bunch of money at the slot machines without having any clue what I was doing. But then I lost it with Blake’s help just as fast as I won it, so oh well. All in all, the cruise was a success- but the ridiculous of it all can not be summed up in this blog succinctly enough, so you will just have to make me take you on one when you visit. :)

For the record, I taught you how to play the game you were wildly pushing buttons at, and right after my instruction you doubled your money.

It wasn't until after that that you lost it (partly cuz I stole your winnings for my video-poker disaster).
