Alaska Cruise 2008
This vacation was so much fun! Alaska is a tad bit frigid when you are out on the balcony, but we actually got pretty hot when we were out on land tours. What a beautiful place. We also spent some time in Victoria B.C., Canada and Seattle. The pictures of the flowers in the slide show are taken at the Butchart Gardens in Victoria. WOW! I just could not keep saying that I thought we were in the Garden of Eden. I could spend a whole day there. Every 5-10 feet I was taking a picture. I took about 80 and then I ran out of space on my SD card. DANG!
Some of the things I enjoyed were dancing at the disembarkation party on the deck of the ship with Jeff and Jordan when we finally dragged him into it :) Jeff and I also won a couple bottles of wine. One was at an event in the Princess Theater and another because we were contestants in the Newlywed, not so Newlywed game. We would have won if Jeff could have remembered what year we met... oh well, 2nd place is AWESOME! I am sure Kathi (my mother-in-law) enjoyed our answers... he he! Jeff also had the opportunity to go "sport" fishing with his dad and 2 brothers. They mostly caught sharks!
Jeff's grandma married her sweetheart on the cruise. She had a pretty dress and the whole works. We thought the candles down the aisle were going to tip over during ceremony. I was fixated on them the whole time!
Overall the food was excellent, the shows were pretty fun, and we enjoyed the time we were able to spend with family. Thanks Grandma Murphy and Vern for taking us on such a wonderful trip.

Seriously, aren't cruises the best! Looks like you had lots of fun and tons of good food {that's the most important}.
He missed the year you met? Come on, Jeff! (JK!) I'm glad you guys had fun. (And that your ship didn't catch on fire.)
Di, apparently your prayers worked because Aaron is probably going to apply to a PA school in AZ. How cool would that be!

We went on a cruise for our honeymoon and I thought it was fun but Bo is a little scared of the ocean. He did tell me though that he would take me on another one if we went to Alaska. So I told hiim you guys had tons of fun! :) Also, did you color your hair a bit? If so its cute.
