And today was a first. We had to load onto the ferry in reverse. Yes, reverse! All the little cars could u-turn inside but the ferry guys instructed us to reverse in like the big trucks.

The ferry crew noticed we were singing without lighting the candles. We thought open flames were not allowed. That might be true but they brought over a lighter and we sang AGAIN. Haha.

Messy chocolate face. Good thing I didn’t shower him in our shared cabin until after the party.

After 7 hours onboard, we parked our vans in the ferry port and called it a night. Here is an Instagram story I put together for his birthday. I will add Dan’s vlog once it’s ready.

Thanks for following along,
