Alaska

~ALASKA~
In July we went to Alaska with our Grandma on a cruise. It was amazing; great family memories, good food, beautiful scenery.

At the airport....this is to Hudson :)
We went up a few days early to see Seattle & Vancouver Island
Our Grandma Reed, who is a really wonderful lady in so many ways!

So my parents love seafood but the kids really don't so my dad would tease that he would take us to a seafood place that had un skinned fish & everything, luckily he didn't. We did go to an open aired market of seafood but they were closing when we got there so we got to smell it :( but didn't see anything...


This building was named after my dad :)...it was where my dad went to college in British Columbia, Canada.
On the ship swimming in 50 degree weather.



The Ice cream was a huge hit on the ship; they had soft serve & colorful flavors of sherbet, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry etc.

Eating at one of the restaurants-


In the entrance to an old gold mine, you could feel the cold air drifting out of it.
Whenever we would stop in a port for a few hours we would go hiking, it was amazing views & good hiking trails.









On Day on a hike...


Glacier Bay is a National Park we went through filled with beautiful glaciers.

In Victoria on our last port stop; can you believe that she is real. They had a few of these outside set up.


The grand total of pictures we took was about 1,300 so we have many, many more!
Leaving the cruise ship...we departed on a Sunday & then came back to Seattle on a Sunday & flew home!
