Alaska


Danny & I had the opportunity to go on a cruise to Alsaska with Danny's parents, brother and his spouse, and sister and her spouse. We were blessed by 7 days away from our crazy kids. We relaxed, ate way too much, saw beautiful scenery, and just enjoyed ourselves. It was a vacation to always remember.



Juneau, Alaska



We went up a gondola to get a great view.





Danny is in gray shirt, 2nd from the right. He decided to pick a slightly steep hillsided to slide down on his backside!

Here's the hill that caused Danny some pain & wet jeans, but no injuries.
This is the back of our ship.




We saw so many bald eagles. I was amazed at how close to civilization they were.



Skagway, Alaska

Below: We got to go on a jeep tour of that took up way up North into the Yukon Territory. It was so amazing.



The family: Danny & Laurie, Josh & Kelley, Cameron & Natalie, Rod & Joan





This mirror lake (above) was so fabulous.



We saw a few carribou, which the guide said was quite unusual. We felt privileged.

We traveled into some fjords and saw some icebergs. Notice their turquoise color!

Even the scenery from the ship on the way home was great.
