Caribbean Cruise - Part Three

As it goes on a cruise ship, it just so happens that there is a schedule of assorted events and things to do. After eating our dinner in the Great Gatsby Dining Hall (more on eating here in the near future), we had all decided to attend the Meet & Greet The Ship's Captain Cocktail Party which was held in the South Pacific Lounge.

As we entered the lounge, some members of the crew were lined up to greet us. Free cocktails and champagne were given out to everyone. We never got to meet the captain of the ship.......it was rather crowded in the lounge..........

..............but my grand-daughter "Fartknocker" wanted to dance. Why not?.......there was not a soul on the dance floor and the band was playing. This was gonna be interesting............"go ahead....get out there in the middle of the floor and do your thing"..........and she did go out there.....but hesitated......."go on"...."spin around"..........."do it!"................but just one small problem...........

"What's the matter, Fartknocker?........why aren't you dancing?"
............."But PopPop........I have to have a prince!"


Of course!..........a princess must have a prince to dance with on the dance floor..........and there I was...............Prince PopPop. Here we go..........and there are all of these people watching.

"I got you covered Fartknocker........do your thing."

.......so we danced...........just a little bit.

It made her happy..............and I was happy. It is not everyday that this old dude......well, forget me......ANY old dude......gets an opportunity to get these kinds of pictures. I just hope that when she is all grown up, she will be able to remember this moment in time and know how happy she was and how thrilled her PopPop was to be her "prince".
Damn,I am blessed..........even if I have two left feet......hehehe.
Stay Tuned.......Part Four coming soon.
