Travel & Vacation: Rock Climbing on Independence of the Seas

Lee made it to the top and rang the bell!  WooHoo!  He made it look so easy and went up several times that morning!

The final full day on the boat we spent at sea.  We had a lot of fun climbing the rock wall, going to a movie with Nicko, ice skating, swimming, going to the show, and so much more.  The only thing that we did that wasn’t exciting was pack our luggage because we were heading home the next day.  I didn’t get any ice skating pictures because we were not allowed to take the cameras on the ice.

Nathan made it to the top! Yay Nathan!

The girls were proud of Grandpa Russell for ringing the bell too.  Way to Go Grandpa!

Karlie going up the rock climbing wall.  She didn’t make it to the very top but she did get a good ways up and tried it twice.

The “Travel and Vacation” series is an insight into our trips together as a family and ways we relax.  Life is short and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to build memories with family and explore of of the most amazing places during our time away.  Explore with a good attitude, look for fun, and it will be an awesome trip jammed packed with positive memories.  It is refreshing having some time away from the regular routine.  Make it a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet new people and learn.  You just might see or try something new that takes your breath away!
