We spent a pleasant day sailing to St. Petersburg, Russia. As we’re not too into ship-based activities, I don’t have a lot to report. Emerson spent some time in the kids’ club, and Libby and I relaxed by reading in our cabin. One highlight — for lunch, we tried the Margaritaville at Sea, which brings […]
