Lower Manhattan and the Freedom Tower
My husband and I have birthdays in early June and we were looking for a way to celebrate it together and visit New York family and friends we have not seen in a few years due to the pandemic. We saw an East Coast Cruise offered by the Princess Cruise line. and decided to go!
The Statue of Liberty
Sailing away from the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal into New York Bay and then the Atlantic Ocean.
We could see Coney Island in the distance as we sailed under the Verranzano Bridge.
We had a wonderful time! At each port stop we took an excursion and saw Peggy's Cove in Halifax, The Kennedy Library and Museum in Boston as well as some of the city, the historic sites of Jamestown and Yorktown in the Norfork, Virginia area, and then a day in pretty Charleston, South Carolina.
We then spent a wonderful week visiting our extended family and friends in Brooklyn and Long Island. It was so good to see everyone again!
Obviously, the month of June flew by and we had quite a bit of catching up around our home when we returned to Colorado but I'm now happy to be back on my blog, where I've missed all my readers!
I'm back to blogging about Colorado, but I'll also show some of the wonderful historic places we saw on our cruise in future posts. I hope everyone has been having an enjoyable summer so far--Happy Month of July!

Sounds like you had a enjoyable cruise. I've never actually been on one, but only having to unpack once would be a bonus, and more time relaxing during days at sea. Have a fabulous week. I am joining you at Mosaic Monday
Happy July Pat,
Your East Coast cruise sounds fun. Love the view of NYC as you are sailing away. Lovely collection of photos. Have a great day and happy new week!
I've enjoyed your trip content of FB!
Happy belated birthdays to you and Vinny! Glad you were able to visit with family and cruise in style. Welcome home.
Sounds like you had a great time on your East Coast tour. I have lived mostly on the East Coast and am in SC now, the upstate though, not the low country. It's pretty too!

A beautiful series of photos! Thanks so much for sharing them with us at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2024/07/a-visit-to-girard-college.html
That sounds like a wonderful cruise!
Looks like a wonderful way to see the east coast without a car!!
Looks like a lot of fun! As someone who has only cruised once, I love reading people that enjoy it. Wasn't really for me, but someday I will try again.
Love your pictures.
I've never been on a cruise. Yours sounds lovely and I love all the photos of NYC.
Happy belated Birthday to you both. Thanks for the nice comment. And I know I'm late again writing this week. This travel was a wonderful idea for a birthday surprise.
Thanks also for the contribution to MosaicMonday. What a wonderful collage. Thanks for sharing on MM.
