Easter Cruise

Easter came early this year! (In fact, the last time it was this early was 1913. And the next time it will be this early is Easter 2228.) But, Easter luncheon was right on time in Havre de Grace, aboard the Lantern Queen. Both the ambrosia salad and the Seven Layer Salad were big hits, but I was partial to the orange glazed ham. Once the food was served it was a pretty quiet boat - everyone was concentrating on the yummy food! After the meal most of us wandered up to the upper deck, and marveled at the beautiful day and the scenery.

This Easter cruise was very special to us. In addition to the passengers on this public cruise, our entire family was able to be together for the Easter meal on the boat. We were especially happy to be able to include Mom and Dad. Dad's recent tussle with a curb left him with a broken kneecap, so mobility was an issue. No matter! Capt. Dave Gainey maneuvered Dad's wheelchair aboard and daughter-in-law Sarah helped him navigate the dining room. We were also happy to have Pastor Dave Wilson and wife Jeannie join us for this cruise too. Good friends, wonderful family, great food, amazing scenery - what a great day!
