Year 50 Day 109

My wife and I in formal dress on the balcony of our stateroom with a calm ocean behind us. I'm wearing a white dress shirt with gold vest and bow tie, she's wearing a black dress with red wrap and jewelry.

Day 109: We’re on a boat! The Queen Mary II, to be precise, the only currently running ocean liner (as opposed to cruise ship). We departed from New York City yesterday, and are working our way out into the Atlantic Ocean. Tonight is the first of the trip’s two “gala nights”, this one with a “Red and Gold” theme, so we made sure to dress for the occasion.

Bonus photos: Waking up in the morning with warm drinks on our stateroom balcony watching the ocean flow by, a peek at the ship’s combination lecture hall and planetarium, and us out at the fancy gala event.
