In may we took our last vacation in Europe. After spending five days in Rome, we took a Royal Caribbean Cruise out of Venice with Brandon's parents. Now this was a real vacation. Our ports of call were Dubrovnik, Croatia (where Brandon's parents found out that a pepperoni pizza is a pizza with peppers on it), Ephesus, Turkey where the Casperson Family heirloom was purchased and two ports in Greece, Santorini and Corfu. We had a wonderful time with Morris and Mary on the ship and exploring. Joseph and Grandpa beat us all at shuffle board and Samantha and Joe attempted to eat an entire octopus by themselves.
After the cruise, Morris and Mary came back to Spainwith us for a few days and enjoyed some time off. If you couldn't tell from the photo's, Kathy is pregnant and due on August 18th. Having Grandma and Grandpa here to help was wonderful. We asked them to come live with us, but they didn't sound too enthusiastic.
The day the grandparents left was a busy one because Neil and Cathy, Kathy's' bother and sister in-law came to visit. We had a blast playing putsy and ticket to ride. (Be prepared to lose when we get back to the states.) They traveled around Spain during the day and came back to our house at night. What great visitors!!!
We miss all of our family and can't wait to see you all in September when we move back to Port Hueneme, CA. You are all welcome to come visit.
