Let me 'splain....No, there is too much. Let me sum up.

Because my body has finally realized that it's summer time and therefore must hybernate, I don't have the energy to write about my fabulous Alaska Cruise/Seattle vacation.

Let it suffice to say that a grand time was had by all and that Alaska is one of the most gorgeous places on earth, and that Seattle is a wonderful city.

I'm hoping to write more later, but thought I'd post some pictures in the meantime.





The afternoon before the getting on the ship. Argosy Harbor cruise. What a beautiful skyline.


Doesn't this picture just scream "Summer Vacation"?



Cruising through Endicott Fjord. GORGEOUS water, ICEBERGS!!!


Christy and I in front of the Dawes Glacier from the Endicott Fjord. Second Day at Sea. It's hard to believe something can be that color in nature.






Downtown Skagway, Alaska. A cute town with a criminal past. LOVED it.



Some views from the White Pass and Yukon Route Railway trip


The Mendenhall Glacier. Maybe my favorite part of the whole trip.


Licking a piece of the glacier.




Getting rained on in Juneau





Ketchikan, Alaska. Raspberries. Totem Poles. Harbor. (Historical) Whore Houses.



Butchart Gardens, Victoria, B.C. Canada.



Back in Seattle in time for a HORRIBLE 90 degree heat wave. Whew! If they only knew.

There it is....kinda. I hope to post for reals later.

Nowhere to run to baby. Nowhere to hide.

In preparation for my super fabulous Pacific Northwest vacay with Jill I went out and bought a bathing suit today.

I was stoic and emotionally detached in the store, AAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDD

then I came home and crawled under the covers and contemplated sucking my thumb. I think I may have hit rock bottom.

But, I will squeeze my chubby body into that torture device and no matter how many people on the Oregon coast will be scarred for life just by seeing so much of me in so little, I am determined to have a good time.

Girl power and chub love aside, I might want to skip the whale watching. Wouldn't want any parallels drawn.
