Time Away

We took a break from packing and stressing over our move for some much needed family time.  We started our trip with a wonderful visit with the California Moragues clan.  A fantastic time was had by all, especially the cousins.  Joshua and Anthony played together very, very well this trip and Karin planned super fun activities. We look forward to seeing them all on Skype and hopefully for a Colorado ski trip this winter.

Next stop was Alaska to celebrate my parents' 45th anniversary.  We went on a 7-night Disney Cruise and it was beyond amazing.  If you have kids and don't mind parting with a chunk of change - you must go on a Disney Cruise.  Joshua was treated like royalty by all the staff on board (everyone seemed to know his name).  They had great kids programming, a lot of time with the Disney characters, and truly great shows in the evenings.

Oh - and Alaska was pretty cool too!  (cool - ha ha - cool)  It was cold and breathtakingly beautiful.  The day cruising past seals and bald eagles as we went through the glaciers at Tracy's Arm was incredibly grand and serene. We had a blast whale watching and stopped for a very fancy Father's Day and Anniversary dinner in Victoria, Canada.

I haven't downloaded the pictures from our camera yet, so I don't have any of the CA trip or the shore excursions to share.  Here are a few pictures of my family.
