Cruisin Alaska!


This past week Stacie and I boarded the Star Princess en route to Alaska. We saw some amazing scenery throughout the trip and got to explore the Yukon Territory. We also spent time in Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway and Victoria B.C.

I'd like to say we exercised self control regarding the all you can eat 24/7 food on board...let's just say we'll be on a diet for a few weeks! I've uploaded a couple pictures to give you a taste of the experience. If you want to see them all e-mail me or Stacie and we'll send a link to the web album.

Here I am in front our the ship (Ketchikan, AK)

This is a picture of the old Red Light District in Ketchikan. Ketchikan was our first stop off the boat, it was a tiny town that gets 250 days of rain each year- so much for complaining about Seattle!!


This picture is of the Yukon Territory. We took an excursion to the Yukon during our stop in Skagway.

Here's Stacie & Me in the Yukon!

This is the Mendenhall Glacier located in Juneau. It's part of a 1500 square mile ice field. This is just one of several glaciers created by the fields.


Here's Stacie & Me on 'Baked Alaska' night!

Alaska was such an amazing experience. We had a great time relaxing on the ship and taking in all of the amazing scenery. It was also fun to get a glimpse into the 1890's as the gold rush was under way while we explored the local towns on our port stops. Not much has changed in the past 100 years!
