PANAMA CANAL pt. 2 – the canal
PERSONAL | TRAVEL
This time in 2014 we had the privilege to go on a family vacation with Mahlia’s family to the Panama Canal. We’re feeling a bit nostalgic and wanted to share some of our favorite moments with y’all. We boarded a Princess Cruise in Florida and sailed to Panama, Columbia, Aruba, Jamaica, & Costa Rica for 11 nights.
1 of 7 wonders of the modern world. The Panama Canal. Some save their entire lives to see this marvel. And what a wonder it was.
The sheer genius behind the design is amazing in and of itself; but when you take into consideration the time when the Canal was created it makes it almost mind boggling. And now, 100 years later, mankind is catapulting the Canal into the new century by creating an entirely new series of locks. Being able to go through the Panama Canal while they are constructing the addition is truly a once in a lifetime experience. Seeing the giant doors above the water waiting to be placed in their new location to open traffic and start a new chapter in the historical creation was awe-inspiring.
Love this shot!!
We love being able to share these fun shots from our travels with ya’ll! 
These photos perfectly captures the morning sunrise on the Canal. We were not only in awe of the creation itself but also the breathtaking colors that danced through the sky. The fog rolling through the rainforest, the rays hitting the peaks, the water glistening under the beauty of it all. Even with all of the busy traffic and workers around it was incredibly peaceful.
We waited for the hellicopter to come around, as the sun crested over the mountaintops, to film us flipping signs that said ‘Coral Princess’ & ‘Panama Canal’ that was added to the on board video created specially for that cruise.
One of the coolest things about traveling through the Canal was that we actually got to be there during it’s Centennial! It was a truly unique experience that few had the opportunity to be a part of for this little bit of history.
