Hubby. On this evening, Doug, Sugar, Squash and myself
Will be boarding a flight to the overcast and beautiful city
of Seattle, Washington. I Love overcast, rainy days!
Love me some cloudy weather
Can't wait to see the beautiful skyline
(unless it's too cloudy...d'oh)
We will spend two nights in Seattle enjoying the sights and sounds of this great city and then Saturday, June 11th we
will walk the plank to enter our home for the next 7 nights.
The Golden Princess-Princess Cruise Lines
The Golden Princess will be our home and Alaska will be our
Destination. I have heard nothing but spectacular reviews
about this particular cruise destination.
Alaskan Cruise
Doug and I decided that we would only take our two oldest
along with us this time. They have never been on a cruise or
an airplane for that matter. My Squash is “pumped” to fly
in an airplane, my oldest, Sugar…not so much. He has always
been afraid of heights. Even when he was a baby and people
would play with him by tossing him in the air and catching him,
uh, no…he would scream.
Not a real picture of my son
Please don't call CPS on me.
It’s kind of ironic though, Sugar is my 17 y.o. who is also a fantastic
high school Pole Vaulter and has as a junior cleared 14’6” in
a school track meet is afraid of heights . I hate to say this, but
it looks like were going to have to break out the ol’ Xanax and
break it in half for him before we get on the plane.
This will be Doug and I’s 3rd cruise. We took our first for our honeymoon
in 1991. This cruise took us to the islands of St. Thomas, St. Maartin,
Dominica and Martinique in the Caribbean.

Then 3 summers ago, Doug won a contest for our school district.
His name was drawn from a group of teachers that did not miss a day
of school for the whole year and he was awarded an all expenses
paid cruise to Cozumel, Yucatan and Progresso.

So, have any of you been on an Alaskan cruise? What
about Seattle? Any and all advice about tourist activities
or excursions would be welcomed!
OMG, amazing!!! That's going to be a BLAST.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment. I tried to email you back, but your settings don't allow since you don't have it linked to your email address. People like your parents are what it's all about. They are the motivation I need. If they can endure so much, then surely I can suffer through a "tough" run. Thank you for that!
