Alaska Cruise

We just got back from a wonderful Alaskan Cruise that we got for Christmas. It was a great week with the family and enjoying the wonderful scenery that is in the wild North. I just loved it. Below are a handful of photos from the 10 day trip:

At the airport

Bill, Nicci, Scott & I went on a wine tasting through a neighboring valley.

Went to a Boston vs. Seattle baseball game, they unfortunately lost. :(

Enjoying our night

Spent Sunday morning visiting and catching up with Jorene and Jesse

And we met the future Kappa Zadie! Such a cutie.

Boarded a boat for 8 days- view looking back to Seattle.

Enjoyed a wonderful week with Gram.

Got dressed up and went to a show.

Did a walking tour of Ketchikan (no rain!)

Loved looking at the small towns (pictured is Ketichikan).

Celebrated 1- 80th Birthday, 2- 55th Birthdays, 3- 30th Birthdays, and 1- 21st Birthday.  Pictured is Bill's celebration.

Saw the Tracy Arm glacier- BEAUTIFUL!

Did a Bike tour around a glacier/lake & visited a brewery in Juno.

Hung out with a crazy brother.

Learned about Red Onion Saloon during the Gold Rush in Skagway.

Dad experienced what the "dancing girls" did to the minors when they visited.

Visited Canada and walked across a huge river.

Did some shopping in each town.

Had a "Duck Fart" shot- even Gram had one!

Dressed up a 2nd night.

Had a balloon drop in the center of the ship.

Did a pub craw in Victoria.

We did see some sights in Victoria- pictured is Parliament.

Got some needed R&R

And enjoyed a Sunday morning at Pikes Market- wonderful people watching place!
So these are just a few of the photos taken over the week (I took just under 400). Hopefully the 23 posted didn't bore you too much! All in all I highly recommend going and seeing the state and it is beautiful and great to see.
