Our Cruise to Alaska

Rachel and Mom, along with Grandma Jackie, had a great time on our cruise to Alaska.  We were escorting a group of 55 people and loved making new friends and seeing the beauty of Alaska.

On our way to Seattle


Rachel gets goofy late at night - we had a late flight!


Day 1:  8am - fire alarm goes off - yep this was real!
We grabbed what we could and headed towards the exit. 


We love firemen!
