Alaska - Part 1

This Summer we went on a cruise to Alaska! Bill and Carol were celebrating their 50th (yes I said it - 50) wedding anniversary and were nice enough to have us along for the ride. There were 18 of us in all with Bill and Carol and their 8 children + spouses. Yes, that is right no kids allowed! What a great vacation it was. Braxton, Porter and Hudson also thought it was a pretty good deal because they got to stay with G&G Wilson in Boise for a week, which was a lot of fun. Here are a few pics and memories of our trip.

Mike was all ready to go waiting on the waterfront in Seattle to board the cruise ship.




The famous Pike's Place fish market in Seattle

Can you spot the Bald Eagles?



Salmon fishing in Ketchikan

"Look out Malcolm - here comes the catch of the day!"








Creek Street in Ketchikan - Notice the fish jumping in the background and also my little caramel popcorn craving (it just smelled so good).

Hey Em! Happy Birthday by the way. I meant to send you a text today and totally spaced. Anyway, I loved getting caught up on the Alaska trip. Wow, that looked like such a beautiful unique trip! Love the picture of you and Mike all dressed up! So cute! Miss you!

Holy crap Em, you have been a busy woman catching up your blog. I am trying to do the same thing, except I am only to March 2010. Love reading about your fam. I can not believe how much Braxton looks like Mike! We miss you guys!
