Juneau

The first stop was Juneau and boy was I so glad to see land I got a little squeemish from the boat rocking and rolling. We went on the deck and our first glance of Juneau was so green and you could see a huge waterfall from the town. The crew decided to go whale watching and Dave and I decided to stay back and just walk around the town. So a few adventures happened and Dave's dad got sick before they went whale watching so we took him back to the boat and got him settled and then we were off like a herd or turtles walking through the town. Unknown to me Dave had his eyes set to find the trail to the waterfall and get a closer look. So we are walking and walking and then we were in the mountains and of course I am thinking we better stay in town if someone jumps us and throws us in the river we are goners.But we carried on anyways and came to this awesome bridge that was made out of wood. so we took a few pics of that then found a trail and followed a ways and saw tons of little waterfalls and lots of green trees. We headed back to the boat and saw this cute purple house with lots of beautiful flowers. It was fun to explore the town and i am glad to say we did not get jumped and had a great time.

8 Years

We celebrated our 8th anniversary on the cruise to Alaska. It was nice a relaxing day and that night it just happened to be formal night so we dressed up all fancy for dinner and ate and ate and ate. They decorated our door with a sign and balloons and they sang the "Happy Anniversary" song to us at dinner. That day was a day at sea so we just goofed around, went to the hot tubs a lot and whenever we could not find Dave we knew to check the sauna because he practically lived in there. We did a ton of eating and I think I had like 15 milkshakes on the cruise. That is probably why I brought home a few pounds from the cruise but hey who doesn't. Oh ya DAVE but hey I am not jealous or anything:) 

Take me out to the ball game.....

Last night we had the opportunity to go see a bees game and it was a blast. Daves work had a deal where you could go to the game and have dinner. They did a great job and the kids loved it. Maddison got to go down on the field and participate in a kids race during the warm up between innings. She did great and came in second. They had to take their stick horses and run to the bee and back. Then after the game there was fireworks and wow they were so close. It was a great night!

North to Alaska

Here is the beginning of the trip to Alaska we saw this really cool bike at the Seattle airport there was seven bikes welded together loved the signs that went with it. This also the boat the Golden Princess. we hung out alot at the ice cream bar and the hot tubs and pools.

The Air Show

They had the air show at Hill Air Force Base a few weeks ago and on a whim we decided to go. It was pouring rain but we drove down any ways just to check things out. When we got there everyone was heading home and I told Dave "I think it is over, everyone is leaving" but we headed through the crowd and got to the place where all the planes were. They came over the intercom and said the air show will start back up in 10 minutes. Sweet we got there just in time. Everyone left so we were able to get a good spot front and center of the run way. 

 Here is the crew coming out of the ariplane

 Maddison and Ellie Trying to spot the planes in the sky

 The Red Bull Plane was so cool it was doing swirly loops and dives it was so cool.

 The Thunderbird

 The Tunderbirds were AMAZING to watch it was incredible how close they can come and not crash

 As we were watching this another did a sneak attack and zoomed right over us and scared the heebie geebies out of the crowd. We all were on high alert when ever they did cool tricks.  

 Simulated bomb attacks
