Legacy Genealogy Cruise

This is where most of the Legacy group stayed the night before boarding the ship.

Christy Downing (Ken's sister).  She is a travel agent and organized the entire cruise.

Don't you just love the T-shirts?

Dave, Pegi (Dave's wife), Diane (Ken's wife), Janel, and Bryan (two of Ken and Diane's kids).

Sherry and Russ Holthe

Ken (with glasses on top of head), Dave (with glasses on his nose) with family and friends pigging out at the South Beach Buffet on the ship.

The crew served about 91,000 meals during our cruise!

It was sure easy to pick out the Legacy cruisers on the first day...
