|  St. Petersburg
Here's some pictures that we took while we were in St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg was the highlight of the cruise and the main reason we took the cruise. We got our passports stamped with a Russian stamp (the only place that stamped our passports and the only stamp that the kids have in their passports) once we arrived in Russia. Then we went on a 9 hour tour which included a Russian lunch and a 2 1/2 tour of the Hermitage. The kids were real troopers and got several compliments on how well they were behaving. But, by about half way through the Hermitage, they both gave up and were worn out, but even worn out they still behaved magnificently.
Be sure to check out the Travel or Cruise pages or go back to Helsinki for more adventures of the Motes Clan.
