Aboard the newly-docked ship in South Boston Harbor, the Yacht StarShip, 16 of us celebrated Lorraine and Harold's (aka Nana and Papa) 50th Anniversary with a delectable brunch spread. We boarded the ship at 11:30 am, departed the dock at 12:00 noon, and cruised around Boston Harbor until 2:00 pm. This is the first year that the ship has come to Boston. Usually, it operates out of Tampa, FL. I had been dying to go on one of these big ships for a lunch or dinner cruise for many years. Finally, we had a special occasion in which to take the plunge (so to speak, on my parent's anniversary of their plunge!) We brought a cake, a wedding photo, a balloon, and gifts aboard with us. The kids had a terrific time on the ship, especially after brunch, when they found the "secret passageway" to the upper deck and when they were invited into the Captain's area (aka The Bridge) to see how he operates the ship. What a fabulous view from the front of the ship! Jon and I being the big kids we are, went too! The kids were delighted to receive their Honorary Captain certificates! Samantha, being the little flirt she is, made a friend named Alex who is 6 months her junior and one named Jess who is 6 months her senior. They were there celebrating their grandfather's 70th birthday. Again, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, Ma and Dad! Thank you for being such an inspiration to us!
