The Cruise (the beginning)

So I decided to write an epic trilogy about our cruise. Not a tale of dragons and trolls, but of cars and boats. It all began with a man named Clembo Baggins Jackson......



Clembo was a simple man who enjoyed working hard and spending time with his hobbit family. While Clembo was aging in years he came across a brilliant idea to take his family on a cruise. Now this wasn't Clembo's first cruise but he somehow new that this cruise would be different. So he came to his family with the idea. Clembo was thrilled to find out that his family accepted the idea, and thought that it would be a fun journey together. All of the Jackson clan knew that the journey would be long, scary and have treacherous terrain, but all agreed that the trip would be worth the hardships that they might face.


So with determination in their hearts and the grit to take on the journey, the Jackson clan took off into the unknown; caravanning their way west. It was a tight fit getting 13 people in 3 cars but the Jackson clan was determined. Stopping only to sleep and go to some outlet malls (where Jonnyboy and AliJ bought new sweet shoes) the Jackson clan made it to the coast. There they found their new mode of transportation in all its glory. Some of the clan wanted to leave Clembo behind (fearing that he couldn't make the long journey), but determined as he was Clembo walked into the ocean until he couldn't swim anymore and the clan reluctantly threw him a life preserver. So off the clan was to their second destination, a strange land called Sea World...



Sea World was an interesting place. After waiting for an hour to get in the locked gates we were met by strange creatures. We noticed that these animals were everywhere; they were jumping through hoops, eating fish from peoples hands (gross), and there was a gift shop full of stuffed animal versions.
We were happy to report that none of the animals attacked us, although a few of our young ones were sad that they didn't get splashed in the face by them (apparently some kind of greeting from the creature). The clans feet were extremely tired after a full day of exploring Sea World so they left the land to find a Romanian taxi driver who could help them return to their vessel.



Tune in next time for part duex of The Cruise.
