Norwegian Pearl to Alaska

June 2013

We took a cruise to Alaska on the Norwegian Pearl in June and the weather was perfect!

So excited to cruise Alaska with the family.

Day at sea, fun evening exploring the ship.

Red Onion Saloon, Skagway

White Pass Railroad

Bowling on the Norwegian Pearl

Halibut Fish & Chips on Creek Street

Swimming in the pool while sailing in Alaska.

Enjoys some relaxation onboard.

Victoria is absolutely charming! I loved the city, had high tea at the Fairmont, bought chocolates and wandered the quaint streets.

Last morning of the cruise….he couldn’t even stay awake for breakfast!

Exploring Seattle means Pike Place Fish Market first.

Rowan kept asking to eat all the fresh seafood we saw.

The famous Piroshky Russian Bakery was a required snack stop in Seattle!

What a great trip!

New England & Canada from

New York

We cruised to celebrate my parents 50th Anniversary! Eighteen of us, all five kids and grandkids, celebrated for a week and had an amazing time.

Starting the cruise off right!

Lunch the first day.

Enjoying the gorgeous day with the NYC backdrop behind us.

There is no better sail away than from New York on a sunny day.

Going under the Verrazano Bridge never gets old!

Lots of excitement and fun on the first night!

Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia was so beautiful! But it was a chilly day so chowder and lobster were in order!

We always met back up on deck and talked about our day.

Dinner in one of my favorite NCL restaurants, Le Bistro! Excellent French Cuisine and a sumptuous setting.

Woke up to beautiful lighthouses in Portland, Maine.

It’s such a typical New England town.

Of course a stop at a Lobster Pound was in order.

Back to the ship to relax and enjoy the pool.

Happy 50th Anniversary Mom & Dad!

The kids

The whole family

Enjoying the evening onboard.

Sailing into NY at sunrise is another favorite of mine!
