Birthday dinner out with my boys

Asian chicken salad. Hmm... Hmm... good.

Then cake for dessert, which I made. My favorite, German chocolate. Was my dads favorite too.

My wonderful gifts.

Celebrating my 50th with my mom

Our first Cruise~Alaska

This is the first cruise we've ever taken so I've posted a lot of pictures. I did an oops though. My pictures actually start from the bottom going up. I can't believe I did that! This was one of the best vacations ever. The boys had a great time and so did we. We loved cruising with Pat and Joe, they are a lot of fun. Can't wait to do another one.

Canada

Walking around the dock in Victoria Canada

My dragonfly that a fellow cruiser made for me. He and his wife were celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary. He had a whole backpack filled with balloons, making fancy colorful balloon animals for everyone that wanted one.

It was cold outside while the boat was moving!

Ketchikan

Every evening we would come to our room with a different towel animal adorning our beds. So cute!

Friends of my brother and sister in law came to the dock and picked us up and treated us to a cruise of their own on their beautiful boat.
