Our cruise was so fun! This was our very first cruise and it was wonderful. Lance worked really hard and earned the State Farm trip, they have one every year but this one was the best! We flew into Rome and were transported to the port Civitavecchia from there we headed to Sicily, then Malta, Croatia, Naples and then Livorno. We had one whole day at sea but the rest of the time we packed in everything we could to take advantage of seeing three different countries in Europe.
On our way to Sicily

Leaving Sicily with a beautiful sunset
So romantic! Thanks for earning the trip Lance
We got to dress up evey night for dinner
I loved it, Lance just wanted to stay in his shorts and sandles :)
But how often do we get have a fancy dinner- and free!
Naples 
The port in Naples was really busy
lots of buildings
This was the day at Sea
The Strait of Messina
The sunsets were so beautiful!
It was like we were in another world!
Our delicious dinners
Livorno
On the bus ride from Tuscany
It was hard to leave every little city we visited but the cruise was so relaxing, we had a great time.
Our last night on the cruise ship 
After dinner we went to the game room, played some air hockey (I won:) and found one of my dad's machines!
our little cabin
headed back to the airport
Goodbye Italy!

Hi Lance and Melanie,
It's been a long time since I worked at Lance's office, almost 5 years to be exact. Katrina gave me your blog address, it looks like you two are doing great, and your girls are adorable. Melanie is as tiny and gorgeous as I remember too!
I love all of the pictures from your cruise, they are just amazing to look at. Someone is a very good photographer! I love it!
We started a blog not too long ago, if you want you can come check it out, send me your email and I'll put you on the readers list. (janaechevarria@hotmail.com)
Keep up the good work Lance!!
