The garden with the red flowers is gorgeous. That is a lovely close-up picture of you on the water. Wow, that ferris wheel is SO TALL - not sure I'd want to go on that haha. Yes, you can tell that the clock tower is leaning. I hope they start the repairs on that soon.<br /><br />So glad you enjoyed your trip, Martha Ellen. You will have wonderful memories to look back on and special moments spent together. : )<br /><br />~Sheri<br /><br />ps.....I think I mentioned me and the girls went on the Queen Mary in California.

I really enjoyed not cooking and cleaning for 23 days! Missing my family at home would tear at my heartstrings, though. We've never been to Iceland. Our two youngest grands have and everyone loved it there. The photos from their trip are amazingly beautiful! Get your passport ready and go!
