Ten Things Thursday

As you are reading this, I will be leaving on my Queen Mary II Crossing from New York to Southampton, England on the Cunard Line. It's a throwback to the Titanic--very fancy! You have to get dressed up for dinner. Not sure I'm going to like that. Plus, I'm pretty sure that I won't want to do a 2 hour dinner every night. Especially when I have tea at 3:30--I'll probably just skip dinner. Anyway, that's my plan. 

Queen Mary fun facts:

*There are 150 chefs and 112 galley workers! 

*They serve 16,000 meals a day!! 

*There are 9 bars/lounges and 8 restaurants.

*It has the largest library at sea with 8,000 hardback books, 500 paperbacks and 200 audiobooks.

*The ship’s deep bass horn can be heard for 10 miles.

*The Queen Mary is considered a floating museum. We need to find the 8ft. portrait of founder, Samuel Cunard made out of hundreds of tiny photos of vintage Cunard ships. The Carpathia was a Cunard ship that came to the rescue of the Titanic. 

*There are 600 original pieces of art.


Once we arrive in Southampton, we'll have a transfer to London. We're excited to spend a couple days there. 


I love this picture so much. 




Now for some other interesting pictures. This is Nashville at night!


Here are some things to do in Nashville.




I don't know where this is, but it sure is beautiful.

Clever!

I would love to see this--the Longaberger headquarters in Newark, Ohio.

So true!

This looks so scary!


Seriously??
