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
I’m going to play golf!
I\’ve always wanted to learn how to play golf, but never really put my mind to it. My dad showed me once in the front yard and Chris showed me twice at a driving range, but I didn\’t really get it. So
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
Eyebrow threading
We headed on this Alaskan vacation with quite the to-do list. We finished everything work related, but the personal stuff didn\’t do so well. One of those things was my eyebrows – they were a mess!
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
Do you like surprises?
I don\’t. This year I have seen so many surprises and there are still more to come. The one surprise was a birthday party (the most common it seems). The birthday girl arrived and everyone had been
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
East Coast (rain) vs. West Coast (sun)
We have been crazy trying to catch up with work – I haven\’t even finished downloading all of the photos. But I wanted to post something!
We were in LA and I kept saying to Chris it was SO dry. If
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
Duke and Goblin… Photobooth Style
We took some really funny photos of the pups on their birthday and I decided to make something out of them. The photos were to funny to just print on their own so I thought that they would look cool if
Ready for Fall
Every year around the end of the summer I start to crave the fall. I crave the cooler weather (not that we really get that until December) and I really crave the fashion! I have a thing for opaque tights
Why the internet is a great place for scammers
About a year ago we had a login on Sandra\’s site for clients to see their photos that required a username and a password. We kept track of the logins so we could see if people were trying to spell things
Damon the Rock Star!
Damon was here for FPP as you probably read earlier. The last night of FPP is the big banquet, and last year Damon felt under-dressed. I though he looked fine but this year he wanted to make up for it
One more beer review…
We found another beer recently that is very unusual. It\’s actually spelled Biere on the bottle and although it has a very strong flavor it is really pretty good.
Even more unusual than the spelling
Gautier Kitchen running for Florida House
If I ever knew someone that was eventually going to get into politics it had to be Gautier Kitchen. He went to UF with us and was quite the character, and now after going to Law School he is going to finally
