Monte Carlo, Monaco

Today Cameron and I got up earlier than the rest so we went and had breakfast together.  After we pigged out the boat was starting to dock in Monte Carlo so we got the camera, snapped a few shots, and took in the views of the city.  On our way back to the room we snuck in a quick few minutes of mini golf.  Before the first shot I wanted to take Cameron’s picture and told him to wait, but Cameron did it anyway and just the way it works sometimes he got a hole in one on his first shot.  See the picture.  
Then it was Camp Carnival time for the boys while Stacey and I took in some of the sights of Monte Carlo.  We walked around the dock where there are some of the biggest yachts I had ever seen.   It is called Lady Moura and is the 24th largest yacht in the world and owned by a Saudi businessman.  We took some pictures of the Grand Casino, Hotel de Paris, and Casino Gardens before heading back to the ship for lunch.  
After lunch Stacey enjoyed a good book while I trekked to see the Prince’s Palace and Princess Grace Rose Garden.  It was not the best time to see roses, but nice to get around and see more sights.
I then took the boys off the boat to see all the yachts in the dock.  They liked the cigarette boats the best and I had to explain why they could not just board any boat they wanted.
To end the wonderful day Stacey and I had a lovely Italian dinner overlooking the city and enjoyed watching the boat pull away.  Monaco check.
