Cruisin' into Fall

The cruise was phenomenal! I would do it again in a minute... and that's saying a lot... once I've been somewhere I'd rather use my time and resources to visit somewhere new. The scenery was the most gorgeous I've ever seen, and we've traveled to about 40 states, Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Israel, Honduras...

The balcony on our ship was the best. We sat out there sipping lattes and watching scenery and wildlife go by. We saw whales, bears, mountain goats, seals, sea lions, dolphins, starfish, bald eagles and other birds, and even jellyfish (didn't know there were jellyfish in cold water). Chris got to see killer whales that were breaching, but Ally and I weren't with him at the time. I intend to put a slideshow together for the end of this blog page eventually. The sunsets from the balcony were awesome, too. Here's a few of the best photos for now (we flew to Seattle the day before and ate at the top of the Space Needle, then cruised Alaska's Inside Passage for a week).
