We spent a day and a half in Seattle before our ship left. It was a busy city! It was fun to go to Pikes Market though and see all the fish and other things people try to sell you. :)
After a full day at sea (during which we saw sooo many whales) we arrived at Juneau. This is a view from the top of a tram ride I took with my parents while Adam was zip lining. Beautiful!
Juneau- it was such a beautiful day- it ended up being T-shirt weather!
The next day was Skagway. We walked around town, and then took the "White Pass" train ride. It was just gorgeous.....and we saw a bear!
This is downtown Skagway. A tourist trap!
Beautiful mountains on our way to Glacier Bay.
Glacier Bay was one of our favorites. Huge chunks of ice "calve" off the side of the glacier and make an unbelievable sound- the natives call it "white thunder". We watched the glaciers for hours. This glacier moves 7 feet a day, so there is lots of activity.
In Ketchikan we went to a lumber jack show! It was a riot! Adam won a piece of wood! hehehe. We left it there!
This was the lumber jack show. Complete with log rolling, and ax throwing. FUN!
Victoria, British Columbia was absolutely stunning. Adam and I want to go back there just to visit. It has AMAZING buildings, and gardens and museums. This is the beautiful Empress hotel where the queen stays when she comes. You can kind of see the balcony she steps out and waves from.
Another view of Victoria and the Empress hotel- from across the bay.
It was chilly that night in Victoria! You can kind of get a glimpse of my 5 month belly. :) People on the ship could not believe we were pregnant with our 5th. :) Me neither! We seriously had the time of our lives. And thankfully, no problems taking it easy (my doctor will be happy to know). I still feel great, and can feel this little guy moving all the time- which is such a blessing.It was such a nice vacation and I loved spending time alone with Adam, and it was nice that my parent's could come. I love Adam more every day, and it's always wonderful to have some good memories!

It looks like you guys had the best time! I'm so glad you got to go and that everything went well as far as the baby goes too!
The pictures look wonderful! What a fun trip. :)
Wow what a great trip it looked like great fun. I am so glad you were able to go.
That looks incredible! We went on a cruise around Florida but you guys got to see lots more "stuff." Both Joaquin & I got bored with the ship by the 5th day so I'm thinking your Alaskan adventure sounds like lots more fun!
