Alaska & Seattle


We just got back from some Alaskan crusin’! It was a much needed vacation and was incredibly relaxing. The sights we saw were stunning! I think we all packed for -7 degree weather. Somehow, we ended up with record breaking temperatures and got to do something not everyone gets to do in their lifetime - - we got to LAY OUT in Alaska!


We played lots of games on the ship and I even read a WHOLE book that wasn’t school related! (Ya, that’s a big deal for me.) We also ate way too much food. Our days sadly enough revolved around when we were going to eat again. Isn’t that what cruising is all about though?


Lots of oldies on the ship. There were probably 60 elderly to 1 person our age. This made for some fun nights in the “Crows Nest” watching them get their groove on! Oh ya!

We also stayed a couple nights in Seattle and spent some real quality time with our friends Tyler and Stacey. They have lived in Seattle for four years now and they're never coming back to Utah. I understand why now! I loved it there. I felt like such a city girl! Thanks for the fun time Tyler and Stacey.


We loved hangin' with the whole fam for the week!
Thanks for the fun trip everyone!

Lucky for you, you didn't miss out on UT's summer weather while sunbathing by glaciers as summer forgot to show up. Looks like a blast, and I hope you showed those oldies how to party like a rockstar.
I so wanna go there, but I think we will wait until we start getting AARP mags, thanks for the warning!!!
