So before we left Ketchikan we had some time to walk around town. It\’s a really neat town and we thought you might like to see some of the cool stuff.
There was a horse drawn trolley to take you around

When we decide to make a big trip out of it
How about a tour of the ship?
I guess we skipped right past this in our excitement to get to Alaska, but we were on Royal Caribbean\’s Radiance of the Seas and the ship was really nice. Of course the first thing you do when you get
Misty Fjords by Float Plane
(Mom, close your eyes.)
Our stop in Ketchikan also included a flight over the Misty Fjords by Float Plane and it was really awesome. This was our first flight to and from water and it was an incredibly
The Salmon Ladder
It\’s not actually a ladder, but it\’s where the salmon jump up the rapids to get upstream. This was worth the hike up into Ketchikan.
But because it\’s tough to get a photo of a salmon in the air we
Ketchikan, Alaska
Finally! We get to see Alaska. Our first stop was Ketchikan, the Salmon capital of the world, and what a cool city it is. The first thing you have to know if you ever go to visit Southeast Alaska is that
Granville Island
One of our trips in Vancouver was to the Granville Island Public Market. If you are ever in Vancouver, you have to go! I\’ve never seen a farmer\’s market like this!
We were trekking all over the
Stanley Park, Vancouver
Our next stop in Vancouver was Stanley Park, but we were unable to see the Train Ride and the Farm Yard because there was a strike! Seriously, they better get their act together before the Olympics in
Chris and his necklace
Chris was walking around the shop at the Capilano Bridge and he found this really nice necklace so he bought it. It represents salmon which is a symbol of respect in the Northwest Indian Culture:
Our condo in Vancouver
We looked at hotels several times and we couldn\’t decide where we wanted – a lot of the really nice hotels run over $400 a night. So I looked online and found a condo for rent right on Expo Blvd. It
Capilano Suspension Bridge
Our first stop in Vancouver was to see the Capilano Suspension Bridge. It was a bit “touristy” but still really cool.
The bridge was built in 1903 to replace the original hemp rope and cedar plank bridge
We are home!
After almost a month, we are finally back in Orlando!
We didn\’t tell many people we are leaving – we like to keep our adventures under wraps. A little insight – we have been married five years and
Savannah, GA
Since we were in St. Simon\’s Island, we decided to head up the road to Savannah for a few days. We were there years ago for a shoot and we had a bad experience (we now book our own hotel when shooting
St. Simon’s Island
We were in St. Simon\’s Island in July with Jamee and Gilbert and we headed over to Sea Island one day. It is gorgeous! If we were not married already, I would want to get married at The Cloisters.
South Beach
Leslie and Dave are always in South Beach and we can never seem to join them. But back in May, we finally made it happen! We stayed at the The Raleigh Hotel and it was great! I highly recommend staying
Girls’ Cruise
(still catching up on old events from the summer…)
A bunch of wedding friends of mine decided we needed to take a fun girls\’ cruise. A cruise? Me? Of course I can go!
If this ship goes down,
UF vs. Troy
We went to the 2nd Gator game this year – and it will be our last. We have weddings booked or other events going on every other home game. We met my dad and the rest of the Orange Park gang and we all
Carrabelle trip photos
We were in Carrabelle in July visiting Ben, Jenny and Sam. But I wanted to post some photos since I am clearing off my hard drive. I will be doing this over the next few weeks! I have lots of old photos
Luciano Pavarotti and James Brown
How very sad that Luciano Pavarotti died Thursday.
I found this unusual combo or him with James Brown on YouTube and it is really good!
A great headshot of James Brown, too:
We’re in theKnot Magazine… again.
We\’ve had our photos published in theKnot Magazine several times, and we were in last year\’s magazines acting goofy at the anual Christmas party but this year we look good and we are in the Magazine
drinks at W and Mondrian
Leslie wanted to go out for drinks somewhere fun, so I let her do the picking of the place. We went to the W hotel in Westood and it was awesome! The little outdoor bar pool area was called The Backyard.
