Mom and Dad's Alaskan Cruise
Ok, I'm switching to let Mom write this one, since I was hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa Whalan all week.  Signing out!

Josh and I took a cruise on Holland America starting from Seattle, then Juneau, then Glacier Bay, Sitka, Ketchikan, Victoria Island, and then back to Seattle.  We got to join Jeanne and Bruce Williams for a week-long double date.  While Alaska was only 50-60 degrees, it was mostly sunny and beautiful!!!  We had a fantastic time.  My favorite thing was the heated tile recliners in the spa.  The calming music was playing at there was a great view of the mountains, and it was nice and warm.  I also caught my first fish!!!  I would love to go check out Victoria again some day.  It was a great, relaxing vacation.  After over a week of spending about 99% of my time with Josh, I am still totally smitten.  And I have the coolest in-laws I could ever hope for.  They are fantastic.  I'm a very lucky girl!  But after it was all over, I was so happy to get back to my sweet Delta!!!
