Alaskan Cruise

Ronnie and I just got back from an amazing family vacation to Alaska, Canada, and Washington State.  We spent seven days on the ship "Rhapsody of the Seas" with the whole family... Mom, Dad, sisters, Grandma, Uncle Rick, Aunt Lynn and Vince. 
Our first stop on the cruise was in Jeuno, Alaska where we went whale watching, saw Mendenhall Glacier, and shopped in the quaint town.


In Skagway, Alaska, we took a tour all the way up to the Yucon and British Columbia; first by bus then back by train.  We stopped in the small town of Carcross where we ate a nice lunch and played with some adorable sled dog puppies.


Our Captain took us to Glacier Bay where we were able to see a glacier up close from the deck of the ship; icebergs and all!

Our last stop was Victoria, Canada.  There, we were able to walk through the Butchart Gardens.  The flowers were breathtaking. 

All too soon, our cruise was over and we were back in Seattle, ready for the next adventure.  My mom's cousin Bill helped us get all ten of us and all of our luggage to Port Townsend to visit his parents for a couple of days.  It was great to see their home and also visit Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park.
