    My Alaskan Cruise

    Hello everyone! I just finished a wonderful cruise and I thought I'd share some pictures. I came home with a little over 2,500 pictures, but I was finally able to pick just a few of my favorites:





    This is the view that we woke up to on the second day at sea-- isn't it stunning?



    Myself and my in-laws in Ketchikan, Alaska



    enjoying the view and freezing to do so. No that is not a kilt, just a deck blanket



    my husband, Jon, and I at the foot of the waterfall next to Mendenhall Glacier




    .........And, guess who we had the opportunity to meet?










    It was a great vacation. Bobbie and Steve-- it was absolutely lovely to meet you both, thanks for playing tour guides.

    Glad you all had a good time, Ali.

    Great shots, thanks for sharing.
    I'd love to visit Alaska some time but I don't think I could tolerate being cooped up on a ship day after day.

    It was lovely to meet Alie and her family -- there were a lot of family members on that cruise! We only had about 4 hours to show them something of our town, but it was an enjoyable 4 hours! Come again.

    it's quite possible, we drove from Provo to Seattle to get on the ship, is it on the way?

    I liked the small picture with me in it better -- I look like I have been run over by a train. Those far-north clinics do me in!
