Well, here it is: the last Alaska post. It’s about time, eh? But just to finish off, I decided to just post a couple other pictures that didn’t seem to really fit anywhere else. Like these pictures from the two formal nights. (P.S. I totally loved how my hair turned out for the first formal …
Alaska Cruise – Food!!
‘Here it is, just as I promised–an entire post devoted entirely to cruise food. I’m sorry. And you’re welcome. Question: Have you ever tried any of the following? *Veal*Duck*Venison*Lobster*Escargot*Crab*Quail*Wellington steakor *Chilled peach soup? Well, so have I. I tried them ALL on the cruise actually, and for the first time, too. You see, I’m not …
Alaska Cruise – Victoria, Canada
To round out our vacation, we made a quick stop in Victoria, Canada for about four hours. Originally we’d planned on going to the Butchart Gardens (which has been on my dream list ever since I’ve heard of its existence), but due to cost and time constraints, we decided to save it for some future trip. …
Tuesday Tell-All, Back 2 School Edition
*I taught my first day of school today. It was my first first day of school as a teacher ever, and I am EXHAUSTED. I feel like my feet have swollen up like a pregnant lady’s (I’m sure never wearing those heels again in this heat!), and I needed a Dr. Pepper something awful by …
Alaska – Tracey Arm Fjord
Before this cruise, I had never heard of Tracey Arm Fjord. Just in case you haven’t either, the Fjord is a narrow inlet that’s been carved out by a massive glacier off the coast of Southern Alaska. The opening to the Fjord is a tricky little sucker to navigate on a cruise ship (or …
In Which I Leave on Vacation Again…
Well, we’re off again. It seems like we just barely got home (oh wait…), and now we’re off to our next big adventure: Youth Conference. I’ll have more Alaska posts waiting for you when I get back. (If I survive). Just kidding. About the survival part, that is. What are you going to do this …
Alaska – Skagway & Ketchikan
Although Skagway was my least favorite of all the places we stopped, it’s definitely worth a quick trip. Skagway is a town that was built up mainly due to the massive gold rush in Alaska in the late 1800s, and the town definitely has an old Wild-West kind of feel to it (complete with old …
Alaska – Juneau
You might want to go grab some Rocky Road ice cream and a fudge brownie because there is some MAJOR picture overload about to go down in this post. Juneau was definitely my favorite place we stopped at (although kayaking in Ketchikan comes in a close second). We got off the port just after noon, and …
