The Love Boat

"Come Aboard,

We're Expecting You...."

Well, as much as I would have liked it to be The Love Boat.
We actually went with the whole family, including Grandpa
....to Alaska.

I don't think I've ever officially introduced the family.
Meet:
Shadowman, Lizzie, Harry & Bella,
me & Rick


We sailed out of Seattle on Holland America's Oosterdam to

Glacier Bay, Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan & Victoria, BC.

This ship had amazing youth programs.

They had a ball.

Shadowman wanted to climb the totem pole.

"Yes, I know you could, but that would not be a good idea."

Oh, this little guy. He is full of it.
He did so so well.
Ate everything put in front of him, and
was so much better behaved than I ever hoped.
No teeth grinding or meltdowns...as good as it gets.

This is my new favorite
picture of the girls...on the Lido deck.


And meet Grandpa.
He keeps us entertained with his
enlightening comments.

I love my dad.

A wonderful trip.
Alaska is as beautiful as they say.
Hot. Who knew? Got a little sunburned.
We all dragged our winter coats with us - waste of luggage space.

Glacier Bay -- got to see icebergs 'calving'.
"The Love Boat soon will be making another run.

The Love Boat promises something for everyone...."
