Dan and I are now the parents of a teenager…

Jack celebrated his 13th birthday abroad the MX Explorer. It was a unique setting, but we still followed the normal birthday “script” as much as we could. We were able to order a special ice-cream birthday cake from the kitchen, and he shared that with all the “ship kids” during their afternoon enrichment session. We bought him SAS-opoly, a Semester at Sea version of Monopoly that is really popular among the kids on board. We also got him a SAS bandana, which he nows wears constantly. Not sure how I feel about that….

Homemade cards, and a family dining experience in the more intimate “special dining” on the ship, rounded out the day.

Not much of a blog, really, but I wanted to share some pictures, as a continued celebration of Jack!
