With our full day excursion, we were up early this morning to get ready. I took a peek outside our cabin window just before sunrise and was greeted with the most beautiful display of water smooth as glass creating the perfect reflection of the trees against the early morning twilight.
Back on board in the early evening, twelve hours after those morning twilight photos were taken, I was just as much in awe at how the view looked from our cabin balcony.
Those who wanted to enjoy a more subdued cocktail hour could take part in the Coloring and Cabernet session for some adult coloring and wine sipping set up by our Cruise Director Rhiannon.
Spinach Salad - Bacon, Hard Cooked Eggs, Swiss Cheese, and Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette. Could have used more dressing as it was a little dry but otherwise fresh and tasty.
The grilled cheese Ayden called in to the chef to be made for Dad. Dad's only critique - "I would have liked to have two grilled cheese sandwiches."
My Northwest Crab Cakes entree - Roasted Red Pepper Chive Remoulade, Herbed Risotto, and Sauteed Spinach. You know you can take the girl out of Maryland but you can't take the love for crab cakes out of the girl. While this portion looks small, I found it quite filling. The crabcake had a bit of spice to it but the flavors were balanced well with the creamy risotto.
Flourless Chocolate Torte for dessert:
After listening to our next day's briefing and port preview, we listened to the guest entertainers - Legends of the Pioneers described as songs of the West-Cowboy and a musical portrait of the pioneers.
Before heading to bed, I stepped out on the open back deck to catch one final reflection photo for the day.
