Alaska Adventures....

A game-time decision was made for Kacy to join mom on her work trip to Vancouver and an Alaskan cruise in July. Kacy was excited to go to Canada for the first time.

Kacy was excited for the muster drill aboard the Radiance of the Seas.

Setting sail from beautiful Vancouver.

Land of the midnight sun: no tall tale. Amazing sunsets and short nights.

Formal night.

Great day in Ketchikan.

This Maryland blue crab lover became a fan of dungeness crab. And learned all five types of Alaskan salmon.

Beautiful weather and great day in the fishing village of Hoonah.

Sea plane adventure to Taku Lodge in Juneau. Breathtaking views of the glaciers.

We then hiked to Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau.

Iditerod puppy kisses in Skagway. Kacy was just a little happy.

Train ride in Skagway.

Touching some ice from Hubbard Glacier.

Spying exit glacier in Seward.

And that was a wrap on Alaska.

Florida Adventures

The kids can officially check Magic Kingdom off their list.

They flew down to Orlando with Grandma last week and she took them to see Mickey and friends while mom worked.

She's really working for her "Best Grandma Ever" coffee mug.

The kids were sufficiently tuckered out come Friday night.

Saturday called for some downtime and pool time.

Too much fun on the lazy river.

Sunday we headed east to the beach. The kids loved playing in the waves on Cocoa Beach and visiting with Aunt Carol and Uncle Sam.

We headed over to Legoland for the day Monday. It was hot but a lot of fun. 

Tuesday, it was another pool day. The Gaylord Palms was a ton of fun.

The outdoor water park was amazing.

Along the way, Grandpa made his way down to Florida too. The kids and I celebrated our last night in Orlando with a beautiful sunset dinner at the Reunion Resort.

Memorial Day Shenanigans

After some epic snow, and a long, wet spring... we were ready to ring in the unofficial start to summer.

So on to the boat we moved (literally) for the weekend.




Sunset on the hill never disappoints.


And the pool water is NEVER too cold for Kacy.

Fishing was on the agenda as well.

There was even some catching involved. For Kacy, her big hit was a large catfish.

Some friends came to play and we hit up Pizza John's for some sustainance.



We made it back to the club in time to hear our favorite "club" band play, Oracle.

Good weather and good friends....great long weekend.
