Dad. Being silly with his hair:

A typical Alaskan port:

Just kinda liked this:

Our hallway on ship:

See this fruit?

You can dip it into white, dark, or milk chocolate:

Playing SkipBo:

Dad on the deck:

That's a real boat. With people on it. Looks like a toy:

Lunch on the Lido deck:

Reading:

Alaska:

I wasn't expecting the water to be this colour:

Dad, wrapped in a blanket, on his deck, checking out the glacier:

Hilda-garden on her adjoining deck:

Rugged coastline:

Love it:

Neighbours:

Dad and mom checking out the wall of ice:

Blue wall of ice:


See that splash in the middle of the pic? That's when a piece breaks off and falls in the water. It's called calving (sp?) and it's LOUD. And impressive.


We are on the top level of a HUGE ship - and look how big that ice cube is!


After that couple finished taking their pics from that stack of loungers, I hopped up.

My favorite deck to hang out on:

More SkipBo:

And more:




Fresh orchids on every table:

Mandi and Drew played alot of cards:

Max's fav spot, the library:

Another shot of my fav spot:




I bought dad that pinky ring in Skagway. He thanked me a million times. And he looked at it every few seconds:


Skagway was quaint:

When I saw this building, I thought of my dad. And Billie's. And my mom. And lots of things:


Every time we stopped in a port, they painted the boat:


Mandi:

Towel creatures:

Max in the library:


Mandi on my fav deck:

In Juneau, Mandi agreed to hang out with me for a few hours, so we took the tram to the top of the local mountain and then did a .5k hike:


This is what our ship looks like from above:


The ship in the foreground is a Princess Cruise vessel:


Juneau:


Anne and Mom:

Dad, catching some rays:

Mandi, doing things her own way:

Ice bergs:



Las Vegas style shows every night:




The veriest top deck, a basketball court:











Getting ready for our mandatory life boat drill:



Three things I'm thankful for:
1. Awesome memories
2. My dad and mom have incredible friends. Thanks, Art, Anne, Hildegarde and Lena for your help and love.
3. A sweet niece who did not mention my snoring once. (Mind you, my snoring was probably nothing compared to the noises I made being sick on that last day...)
Shalom,

Your dad makes me smile, he has mischief in his eyes :)
I hope you're feeling better. The pics look great. Fantastic ones of the icebergs.
