And a little bit of knitting

I have to share this pic of me and my friends on board. Amanda and Susan are working on their colored pencil pics while I knit. We're sitting in one of the dining rooms on the ship. I got a little bit of knitting done while on the cruise. I started working on a scarf. It's still not finished :)



And my poor Northern Lights Wrap has barely been touched since before my cruise. It did get carried to knitting last night, but nothing was knitted. BAD, BAD KNITTER! Too much socializing happened last night. :)


I miss the Star Princess!!!!

Some more Alaska pics

Here are some more pics from Alaska.

Here are some sea lions we saw on our whale watching excursion.


And Mendenhall Glacier as we were coming from Juneau.


While in Juneau we visited the famous Red Dog Saloon. Very cool!





Some pics from the bus ride to the Yukon Trail into Canada.





And while we were there we visited a sled dog camp. It was really hard not to adopt a pup. :) I really enjoyed the sled dog stuff. They had a sled on wheels and they took us for a ride. It was GREAT! One of the dogs was being a real pain in the butt, picking on the other dogs. Her name was Cosmo. It must be the name, because my Cosmo is the one that picks on my other dogs too.

yep, still a bad blogger

Sorry, I've just been super busy. Trying to get back to "normal" after the cruise to Alaska has been rough.
Here are some more pics of my amazing trip. These are from my whale watching excursion. It was AWESOME! We saw LOTS of humpback whales, some sea lions, and some bald eagles. Alaska is truly WILD and SPECTACULAR!!!

Enjoy!
These are humpback whales.



Here's an idea as to how big a humpback is, check out the size of the whale near this boat.


Here is a pic of a bald eagle.

And here's a pic of me enjoying the whale watching trip. It was GREAT!!!

Back home again, in Indiana

I'm back home from my cruise to Alaska! It was a wonderful vacation. I think that cruising is the best way to go. You are truly on vacation when you cruise. I went on a Princess cruise. They are AWESOME!! The crew was fantastic and super friendly. The views from the ship were spectacular. The only thing missing from this trip were my pups! I missed them a lot. But they were in good hands here at home. Katie was my petsitter at home. She was left with 3 dogs, 3 cats, a fish, and a turtle. I came home to find that the house was in fine order. The pups and cats seemed to really like her a lot. Cosmo got to stay with Aunt Teresa and got some one-on-one agility training. I can tell she had a great time too. She came home tired :)

I'll be posting more pics later. For now here are a few. Enjoy!

These first ones are on Embarkation Day in Seattle. Our ship was the Star Princess.




These next 2 were taken in Ketchikan.





This is a picture of my shipmates Amanda, Doug, and I with an Orca in Ketchikan.
