Alaskan Cruise

We just returned from a 7-day Royal Caribbean Cruise to Alaska. Everything about it was first class. We really didn't want to see it end. I am posting some highlights. Our ship was the Rhapsody of the Sea. It had 2100 passengers and 1000 crew members.

We took photos of our ship on the other side of the bay on an excursion on the Juneau Trolley.

Our stateroom was very lovely.


Notice Grandpa clowning around like Samuel.
Each day our stateroom attendant folded towels into amazing sculptures.

Turkey

We really got a kick out of what he did with my shoes that I left out of the closet. He really entertained us and worked for a tip at the end of the cruise!
We took 245 pictures. I'll post another installment later. That's 11 down and 234 to post.

Daniel's Baseball

Gordon and I drove down to see Daniel play baseball. He is on the Detroit Tigers team. He played left field and third base and did a great job. He had a couple of great hits and one RBI. We took our little red convertible down. The evening was warm and the sunset was gorgeous.

Ryan's Ph.D Graduation

Congratulations, Ryan! You did it! It was exciting for the entire family. It was a long day for the kids! Abbi's parents have been a great support to all of them. Gordon, my mother and I got to fly back to Ann Arbor, Michigan for the weekend. Karl, Christina, and their kids got to spend a week in Michigan. The cousins had a blast. We had a breakfast brunch at a beautiful park. It is found on Geddes Road and this is a photo of Geddes Pond. It made us feel right at home! The kids buried their feet. Even Grandpa had fun swinging.
