The Ruby Princess

The last week of June, we were lucky enough to be able to go on a cruise to Alaska.  My grandpa had wanted to go for his whole life, and he decided to take family with him!  My parents, siblings and spouses, aunt and uncle, and my cousin and her new husband were all able to go.  

It was our first trip without kids, which was so weird.  I kept on thinking we were forgetting something, and that it was way too easy to get places.

We spent an evening in Seattle before we left on the ship, made 3 stops in Alaska, and one stop in Canada.

Every place we stopped was absolutely gorgeous!  We did a boat wildlife tour where we saw tons of seals, bald eagles, and deer.  We also did a glacier tour and some whale watching.  Our most favorite excursion probably was a zip line course!

The ship {The Ruby Princess} was amazing.  We had fun eating, watching shows, eating, competing in trivia games, eating, taking a dance class, eating, shopping, eating, swimming, and of course eating.  Pretty sure that between Brandon and I, we gained about 20 lbs! 

It was a perfect trip {minus the one night of 11ft waves} and will always be one of our favorites.
