The very next day was Rory's 40th birthday. I had a dinner planned for him at a local golf club and then cake back at my sisters. It was so classic because everybody started to leave and say goodbye as if they were leaving for the night and going home. You should have seen his face, no cake, no presents, and we didn't even sing happy birthday. I was laughing so hard inside watching him, knowing that my sisters house was decorated with the 40 theme and the most expensive cake (more than my wedding cake) was waiting to be cut. Again it was a wonderful party, and so nice to see all of my boys dressed up for 2 days in a row!
The next day we were off on our Alaskan adventure.
1 week on the Carnival Spirit with my Mom and the boys. The weather was spectacular (better weather than we are having here now). We visited the following stops and rather than inundate you with my 400+ photos I will just add a couple for each stop.
- Endicott Arm
- Skagway
- Juneau
- Ketchikan
Victoria (we didn't dock here due to high winds, not such a big deal as we can take the ferry to Victoria and day but I am sure there are some that were disappointed.)
I highly recommend this trip, the beauty is amazing, but just as an fyi from what I have been told and experienced June is the best month to visit. The reason I was told was because you get a bit of both snow and green as opposed to all of one in the earlier or later months of the year.
We returned on the 8th and were surprised to find the baseball season was still going strong for Trev's team. They were supposed to be done while we were away but they made it into the playoffs. His team ended up taking first place and Trevor was named MVP for one of the games (very exciting!)
It doesn't feel as if we have stopped since coming home but that's a good thing, always better to be buys than not!
Talk soon (more regularly from now on)
Cheers
