Alaska Cruise Recap

We just got home from a wonderful trip with Grandma & Grandpa. 40 years ago, Grandma & Grandpa got married, and what better way to celebrate than to spend time with them discovering the beautiful state of Alaska. :) Enjoy the pictures!

Checking out the view from their balcony.
She went to the kids program tonight as "just plain Hannah" and emerged "Super Hannah! Too bad that right after this picture, she got some glitter in her eye (from the blue mask that was painted on her face) and had an epic melt down. I'm sure it hurt. :(
She was so tired after her bath that she hardly noticed the towel-bat that our stateroom attendant made for her. Hannah got to sleep on the bunk bed this trip, and she absolutely loved it.
Daddy and Hailey and a beautiful sunset over a town that we were sailing past.
Human totem poles...Skagway, Alaska.
Taking a break with Grandpa.
Panning for gold with Grandpa.
On our first cruise, when Hannah was 9 months old, we had an amazing server in the dining room named Valerie. Since we were on the same ship, I was curious to see if she was still working. Our server managed to pull a few strings and get her to come visit our table, and I took a few pictures! Valerie was amazing with Hannah when she was so little. It was good to see her again.
The Hubbard Glacier...calving.
Burr it is cold outside.
Hi Grandma & Grandpa!
The girls quickly got bored with looking at ice, and went inside to hang out and watch cartoons.
One thing I noticed this trip...
We woke up so early to see the glacier, that everyone was super tired by the afternoon. Nap time!!
After we disembarked the ship in Seward, we decided to hop on another boat and take a tour of the harbor.
Hannah became a Junior Ranger on this trip, and Hailey couldn't stop admiring her badge.
4 hours on a little boat, and a few more hours waiting for our train to Anchorage made us all tired.
Well...almost all of us. Yummy toes!
Hannah spent most of the ride looking out the window for wildlife.
More pictures to come. Next topic...nature pictures!

The human totem pole is great! And I love how the ship had a bunk above your bed. Looks like it was a beautiful and fun trip!
