I wanted to let you know how much fun our kids had on the Spirit of Lake Murray during their Prom Night this past Saturday.
Upon their return from Prom, they spoke highly, if not more so, of the dinner cruise than the Prom itself.
On board, they met people from Germany. They enjoyed the dinner with two thumbs up! And laughed to be nominated "Prom King and Queen of the SLM Dinner Cruise."
Thank you for making the Prom 2012 event even more special for them.
