Golden Princess tour of Alaska...






Here are a few photos from our cruise ... Seattle to Juneau, Skagway, Tracy Arm Fjord, Ketchikan and Victoria ... back to Seattle. My parents, sister and aunt/uncle went as well. Lots of great scenery, too much food, and oh how nice to vacation with babysitters right next door! With so much time on the ship, Trevan and I were ready to explore away from the cruise crowd, so we found a neat out-of-the-way walk/hike in each port except Ketchikan. Toriana went along for most of them, either in Bob (stroller) or the Moby wrap. She was a good little traveler and we all enjoyed having her along. We saw a bear (yay!), some whales, an otter and quite a few eagles... oh, and thousands of salmon (wishing we had a pole, we sadly watched them swim by!)

Toriana turned 8 months with similar stats to last month (whew! nice to report that she didn't go up 2 more pounds!) She now has 4 teeth and is scooching all over the floor but not officially crawling yet. She has gotten so expressive, especially with her eyebrows and eyes - she has a great look of puzzlement and another of amusement ... so fun! Currently she's giggling because I have a cloth toy bucket on my head as I type (the things we do so that we can buy a little more time at the computer!)

Happy Fall ... I'm sad to see our very short summer disappear, but it'll be nice to cozy in and play games, drink hot cider, and eat pumpkin bread/cake/pancakes again!

Can I just say, that last picture of Toriana is just too cute! Glad she's a good traveler for you!

You never know who you'll run into when you blog hop. Was good to see all the folks that cruised with you at Pulaski this fall. We are enjoying B & K here but know you miss them in Seattle.
