Catching Up

I have to admit that Liz & Heather put us all to shame for neglecting the blog site, particularly Liz of late. I don't know that I have the stamina to write about everything that we've done in the past few months, but I'll post a few a little bit now and try to post more later.




Probably the biggest event was our cruise to Alaska. I've never been real keen about going to cold rainy climes to view the scenery. While we saw some very beautiful places and sights we'll never see again up close, I don't think we'll cruise Alaska again. The pictures above and below are of Mom and a Bear (how's that for being a straight man).



I think the highlight for us was seeing icebergs and then Dawes Glacier as shown in the photos below. The icebergs were notable for the deep blue color that was a surprise to us. Mostly we saw small icebergs that he captain referred to as "bergy bits". We didn't get real close to the glacier because of the number and proximity of icebergs in the area. If you look real close at the photo, you'll see a small ship (probably 75' long)in the distant foreground that gives you a better feel for the immense size of the glacier.




Right now we're all getting ready to to to Disneyland for a few days (Oct 1 - Oct 5) and we're really looking forward to the time together. More pictures to come - maybe even from everyone.

Love, Dad
