Mom and Dad's Alaskan Cruise

Last month, Mom and Dad got to enjoy their 40th anniversary gift from their children: an Alaskan Cruise! They invited mom's brother and sister-in-law, Larry and Jayme, to come along, so it made it doubly enjoyable. I wanted to throw up some pictures as Mom and Dad don't have a blog. The pictures are amazing and Dad said basically, it was the best gift they could've gotten: relaxing, no pressure, get to see and do exactly what they wanted, no meals to plan, prepare, or clean up for a week . . . I could go on. One cool thing was they (the four of them) were invited to have dinner with the Captain, evidently, only a very few passengers get to do this, so it was special. They loved Alaska and got pretty close to some glaciers!

As an aside, Josh and I just got a postcard from our friend, Amy, who spent her whole summer interning in Alaska (waaaaayyy up, north of the Arctic Circle!) and she loved it, and wants to move to Alaska someday. Hmmmm . . . maybe there's a reason Josh and I want to go there too . . .
