We hit our 25 year Anniversary in May but weren't sure how we'd celebrate, until she suggested a Cruise to Alaska. Neither of us had been on a Cruise, nor to Alaska, so it was perfect.
We flew out to Seattle, where we boarded this floating city on the water. She was a big girl, holding approximately 6,000 of Guests and Crew.
Our Room was in the back of the ship, which offered spectacular views.
Goodbye Seattle, for now.
Our first stop in Alaska was Ketchikan.
My Wife and I are both very fond of Oysters, so we visited an Oyster Farm.
They're brought in as babies from Hawaii and are raised here for years before they end up on J.B.'s plate.
They get rotated which promotes growth and kept in cages to keep predators, like hungry Starfish, off them.
Bald Eagles everywhere.
On our way to Juneau for some Whale Watching.
On our way out, we saw a lovely Glacier.
On to our last stop in Alaska: Skagway
We took the White Pass for a nice ride.
The next stage of the Cruise brought us to beautiful Victoria B.C., Canada.
This little guy came out, proudly rockin' the Maple Leaf, to greet us and lead us to where our girl can park her big a5s.
Our one stop in Victoria was the amazing Butchart Gardens. Words cannot describe this place.
Time to head back to where this party got started: Seattle
We had some free time this second-time around, so I kept a promise that I made to myself a long time ago if I ever found myself in Seattle. Took a short Uber drive to visit an old friend.
I had packed this miniature Strat replica of the one Jimi hand-painted then went on to set on fire during the Monterey Pop Festival.
This marked the end of our trip but it provided memories we will never forget.
