Our Journey

On June 15 we left Moscow, Russia after 10 years here as a family and returned to California overland. Traveling with 3 kids by train, boat and car through Europe, across the Atlantic and then across the US may not be your idea of a relaxing summer vacation. It was not ours either, but it was the trip of a lifetime!

DAY 13: Second Day on the QM2

Life on board is developing a relaxing routine. We have figured out the ship’s internet system and are madly typing to get caught up on blog and e-mail. We still haven’t figured out a place to stay in NYC, but we are trusting that God has something in store for us. The waiters at dinner are bonded with our kids and bring them extra portions of dessert. Christopher has a special fondness for lemon sorbet and our waiter has somehow managed to find some, even though it’s not on the menu. Pretty amazing, as it’s not like they can send a busboy out to 7-11 to pick some up. The attention and extra treats is small consolation for Andrew who is pretty tired of getting dressed in a tie for dinner. This is saying a lot for a kid who wanted to sleep in his suit jacket when he first got it! Because of the kids, they have put us in the back corner, near the kitchen, but we don’t mind as we are next to the window with a spectacular view and close to the food.
