Hoisted the Sails & Booked a Cruise.

I'm so excited I feel like I could burst. On Monday night Landon hoisted the sails for the first time (I can say fancy words like "hoist" and "gibe ho!" because I'm a real life sailor now.)

It was so exciting to see the sails go up and realize, this is a real sailboat. All of Landon's hard work (I helped a little too) has paid off and now we have this amazing, little boat. It's just crazy to me.

just practicing...looking for land or something.

he's a natural

this picture kills me. How cute is he??

After we hoisted the sails and took a million pictures, we put the camera away and "played." Landon sat in the back with the tiller and I sat in the front releasing the jib (it's the sail up front...if you don't speak sailor). Landon would say "prepare to tack" and I would say "ready" and then we'd pretend to tack. It was SO much fun and I can't wait to actually take that baby on the water this weekend!

(You're going to be hearing a lot about Thumbelina and sailing in the next few weeks... just a heads up)

In other news, we just booked a CRUISE! We are total cruise-whores. There's no better way to travel! Unlimited food, relaxation, and fun fun fun! We're a little obsessed and I'm just giddy right now, in fact I'm a little dizzy from jumping in circles & screaming. It's a 7-day cruise out of L.A. going to San Francisco, Astoria, Victoria BC, Nanaimo BC, and Vancouver BC. We have never traveled on the same cruise line twice, so this time we are trying our hand at Norweigen. I can't wait for MAY! Wohoo!
