Santa Cruise 2024

I have been on the Santa Cruise at the Coeur d’Alene Resort before, but it has been many years. My mom decided that it was finally time for our boys to have the experience, so we drove up for a quick dinner at Tito’s Italian Grill, followed by the cruise.

The boys had a delightful time. Darius was, according to him, not scared at all. (He would not allow me to put him up on the bench to see the “North Pole” more easily, but he was willing to walk up the steps by the bridge.) The fireworks impressed. We were given giant cookies on the way back to the dock for free. Everything worked out perfectly.

We had the boys do a bit of running around in the Shops before we ventured home. The stores were entirely closed down, but the main hall was still open, so they had the place to themselves. Torin wore himself out particularly well and chugged the bottle of water. And of course they fell asleep on the drive back to Moscow. I’d say it was all well worth the effort.

Maggi and I discussed the above on episode 55 of Adventures with BAM.
