We are in Juneau Alaska and we are having a ball on our big family reunion cruise! We have our whole family on an NCL cruise of Glacier Bay and we are having so much fun. We have us, Megan, Allen and Heather and Heather's mom and two nieces (Megan and Kathleen) and Robert, Becky , Delaney, Emily and Dalton plus Robert's mom, Joyce. And we are all enjoying so much just relaxing and eating and umm eating and eating! We had a wonderful visit with Susan and Allen and Kim Caldwell in Seattle. We arrived in Seattle on the 4th of July and we watched the fireworks off Susan's deck after a wonderful steak dinner. The fireworks on Lake Washington were just gorgeous from her deck and we didn't even have to drive. We had a great breakfast the next day at the hotel where everyone else were staying. Susan took Jim, Meg, and I to the dock to catch the ship and everyone else took a shuttle from the hotel to the dock. Can we say it was not uneventful!! The van they were in had a blowout on one back tire and they were riding on the rim and it could have been a huge disaster and we are so thankful that the driver handled it well and they were not hurt. They sent two vans and they were on their way to join us at the ship. We are on the Norwegian Pearl and it is a new ship and just beautiful.
Today we are in Juneau and we are in the McDonalds here that has free wi fi. We went to Mendenhall Glacier and it was just spectacular! Today is so warm and so beautiful and sunny and we even saw a porcupine right by the walk that was eating the bushes. Most of us had never seen one in the wild before so that was exciting. I will post photos when I get them downloaded.
Yesterday was not so warm and pretty-it was COLD and drizzly and we all thought we had not packed very well for this trip! But today is short sleeves weather and the air conditioning here in McDonald's feels really good.
Well, Jim and I need to get going back by all the wonderful souvenir shops on the way to dock. We will update in Ketchikan which I think is the next place that has wifi a the McDonalds!
