Our second port was Sitka, Alaska. If you’ve seen The Proposal, this is where it was set. I haven’t seen the movie, but I do know it wasn’t actually filmed in Sitka. They made a town in Maine look like Sitka. I did look at some pictures of the set and they did a pretty…
The ship arrived in Glacier Bay around lunchtime on Tuesday and slowly made its way around the five different glaciers located there. I wish I could remember their names, but they were all magnificent! Especially the last two. We were extremely lucky to have such a clear day there. Apparently, it’s usually foggy, but we…
I’m not really sure how to approach the details of our trip, since reading travelogues are not my favorite thing to do. I think I like writing them even less. But, I did get a few photos edited, and they’re all of the first day, so a travelogue it is. (Sorry to all of you…
Unless a small miracle occurs (and I still believe it could happen), it seems that we are staying in Cedar another year. In the spirit of having a better attitude about this, I decided we should get out of the house and enjoy the great town we live in. Because Cedar City as a place…
So, our last day in NYC. It rained. A lot. So, not a ton of pictures as I was just trying to keep dry most of the time. We started out by taking a cab to Lincoln Center and browsing the Metropolitan Opera Shop. After we were done there we walked across the street to…
Thursday was our touristy, see the sites of NYC, kind of day. After breakfast we went down to 34th Street where we did not have any miracles happen, but we did wait in a very long line to go to the top of the Empire State Building. After that we went down to Pier 83…
This post is dedicated to my mom for allowing it to even exist. Thanks mom, for a wonderful 33rd birthday spent with you in the Big Apple! (Picture taken in the Chicago airport during our unexpectedly long layover.) Although we arrived on Tuesday, we were nearly 4 hours later than we had planned, so we…
So, we ate our last fancy meal and packed up to check out. We loaded ourselves in the car and were off to Tahoe. Drove for a while. I mention this because I read Harry Potter the entire time and was about 200 pages into it by the time we arrived in Tahoe. Of course,…
We started Day 3 just like all of the others: with a scrumptious breakfast of whatever the heck we wanted to eat. Then we headed out to the BART station where we caught a bus to visit the Legion of Honor art museum. It’s at the top of a hill in the middle of a…
We spent most of our second day in San Francisco with Hilary and Drew. After eating our omelets and leisurely getting ourselves showered and ready, we took the CalTrain down to Santa Clara where Hilary picked us up and took us to her house. We hung out together for awhile, listening to our husbands talk…
Quite possibly my favorite picture from the entire vacation. The Golden Gate Bridge: Me and the Golden Gate Bridge, taken by Joel from the boat: Joel and a shoe eating cable car: Picture of Alcatraz I took from the boat on our fancy cruise around the bay: A visit to Ghirardelli Square: My luscious caramel…
