The Alaska cruise 2010 photos

I made an effort to only include the interesting photos and not the huge number I actually took.  I broke them down by days of the cruise.


                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Day one of cruise. Leaving seattle and setting sail. Our first dinner which went well because Cooper fell asleep.  Click here for more pictures


















Day two of cruise. A at sea day. Sort of rough day. Lots of barf bags posted all over. Asher was a little sea sick in the morning. Then he had snails for dinner.

Day 3 was spent in Juneau. We rode the Mt Roberts tramway and did a hike up there. Nice views of town and our ship. There were at least 4 ships in port. Lots of tourist.  Click here for more pictures














Day 4 was spent in Skagway. I'm not sure of the population but the cruise ships must have increased it 10 fold. I spent most of the day on board hanging out with Cooper. Boys did a little swimming since it wasn't as windy in the open pool.

Day 5 started early at about 6 with the Tracy Arm fjord. Very narrow and lots of ice. Ship went near to the glacier then turned and came back. In the afternoon Josh and and Andrew took the boys rock climbing. Click here for more pictures








Day 6 was at sea. Had icecream for breakfast. Had the service for Grandpa which was nice. Went around the room and everyone shared something about grandpa. Ivy and the boys went to the show after dinner.  Click here for more pictures









Day 7 was in Victoria. One of my favorite cities. Ivy and I had our honeymoon here and have visited several times since. We tried to go to the Crystal Gardens but it was closed. Then the undersea museum people said it was too cloudy to see anything. We did the water taxi tour instead. Click here for more pictures









Got off ship about an hour late at 9. Two ships getting unloaded at once. Found our luggage and Grandma and Aunt Dean. Thankfully Perry pulled up and helped me figure out how to fit 7 peoples luggage and 8 people in the suburban. Click here for more pictures











Some youtube videos.  They are from a flip cam and are pretty shaky.  You can see a little bit of a whale on Asher's rock climbing one.
