The world traveler, Papa Joe returns!!

Papa Joe has returned from his 17 day cruise!!! Since Aunt Joanne could not make it, she graciously gave up her spot for Dad to go with Uncle Bob and Cousins Shirley and Ernie. They all left on a red eye the night before Easter and headed to Fort Lauderdale with a stop over in Philly. They boarded the Celebrity Cruise Line Infinity Ship on Easter and headed to sea. They made stops in Columbia, a trip through the Panama Canal, Costa Rica, Acapulco, Cabo San Lucas and San Diego. They ended at Pier 66 in Seattle where Mom picked Dad up on Tuesday the 10th.

Wow that was a long trip. We all missed Papa Joe, especially the babies. Kitty asked for him every time she came over and Jojo missed his babysitter and companion. Luckily the kids got to spend time with Papa on Wednesday and Thursday. Jojo was really excited to have his one on one time with his buddy, Papa.

We know this was a trip of a lifetime Papa, but we sure missed you. Please take us along with you next time. Welcome Home!!!
So tan!
