Seeing glaciers was primarily why I wanted to cruise to Alaska. We did see Mendenhall Glacier while in port at Juneau, which was fantastic. Seeing the Hubbard Glacier, though, was a different experience. We cruised into Yakutat and Disenchantment Bays, allowing us to view the glacier from the water.
Our first port of call was Juneau, Alaska’s capital city. Many things make this area interesting, but one thing that stands out to me is that due to the mountainous terrain there are no roads connecting Juneau to the rest of North America, even though the city is on the mainland. Since everything needs to be shipped in, our tour bus guide said housing was
Cruising is a different type of vacation than I typically choose. I’m all about exploring the new places we are visiting. I’m a go, go, go, need a vacation after the vacation traveler. Cruising is too relaxing for my taste. But that’s not to say I didn’t enjoy our trip to Alaska. The scenery was beautiful and our mobile hotel was more than accommodating.
Some friends of ours invited us to tag along on their Alaskan cruise. They had done one a number of years ago and wanted to bring their kids this time. I’m always game for a vacation – especially one with friends that don’t mind our kids tagging along. However… we’ve been on one cruise years ago, and I didn’t love it. We actually went with
This is me dreaming big. I love to travel. I run. I could really never have too many Runcations. On my bucket list is traveling to all 50 states in the US. Add in the running thing and I have one more reason to visit the states, with the added bonus of keeping fit. We have 3 busy kids and a farm, is it realistic
A couple times while in Venice we visited St. Mark’s Square. It was fabulous, still filled with old world charm.
We spent our second full day in Venice taking a boat ride to Murano.
In 2015, Farmer John was scheduled to spend a week in Germany for work. The kids & I tagged along. We extended the trip to 2 weeks and had a fantastic time in Europe. Our first stop was somewhere I have always wanted to go, Venice. Venice. A dream turned reality. I can still hardly believe it.
The kids, hubby & I took a quick trip to NW Washington. The main purpose of the trip was for me to run a half marathon in a National Park. However, I added a tad more fun to the weekend since we were in the neighborhood. The rest of my family doesn’t know much about Twilight, but I’m a fan – especially of the books,
Because I will be running my first marathon in October and need to get in many long training runs, I signed up for a virtual run to keep things interesting. I found the perfect one – celebrating the 100th birthday of our National Park Service. I love our National Parks and am so thankful every time I get to visit one. We do live in
