Okay, I'm not morbid to be taking this picture of a graveyard. This happens to be a gravestone of Skagways most famous villain, "Soapy Smith" who was a liar, murderer and crook. You can google him to learn more as I don't have enough room to share the whole story.









Here's Ryan looking for gold. I won for the most amount of gold found. My gold would sell for about $16.50. Whoohoo, I'm rich!!!












This is "Soapy Smith's" Saloon. This was also the last place he was before he was shot and killed by the town's hero who was later to be found just as much of a villain as Soapy.










Wow, a Monkey!!














A beautiful sunset seen from our ship near Campbell River.

Skagway, Alaska

This was our last stop on our cruise. A cute little town that hasn't changed a whole lot since it was first build in the 1800's. The building on the right of this picture is all covered in Driftwood. I think I like this town the best because it had the richest history.








The Golden Hotel. I'm not sure if it's still actually hotel. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's not as we were told this other hotel was the only hotel in town and the bottom floor was the tourist bureau.










This one's a bunny!













The Glaciers! Apparently this is what everyone wants to see when they come to Alaska. I expected to see more ice. I will say that it was extremely cold though.











More ice.

Alaska

This is Dolly's Whorehouse. The owner, Dolly asked that her 'house' be left as is so that future people could see how she lived. Apparently, she worked into her sixties---ew! I was going to go in for a tour but the lady dressed up as Dolly was smoking away in the doorway and smoke while being pregnant makes me vomit literally. So I passed.







Here is another towel animal by our cabin steward. This one is an elephant. Where do you go to school to learn this stuff??











This is the back of our ship (in case you didn't know that by looking). Dave kept asking me to take pictures of the ship for some reason so I made him pose for me.

Ketchikan, Alaska

Our cabin steward surprised us several nights with animals made out of towels. Sometimes they used props from our room too. Very talented person. Actually, our cabin steward was awesome. He treated us like royalty and the room was cleaned twice a day so it was always spotless.







Ryan, my mother in law, and Dave just before we got on the trolley behind them. This trolley took us around town to show us the sites and to share a little history.











A lot of streets in Ketchikan are built on a hill. This road is propped up by stilts attached to the hillside. Some of the roads in Ketchikan was just very, very long stairways. They have street names and are maintained by the city. The garbage man has to travel up these staircases to collect the garbage and then return the can to its rightful place. I couldn't get a picture of it as we went by too quickly to get one.

Cruising To Alaska

This is a picture of us leaving port at Canada Place (on the right). It was beautiful and warm that day and lots of people were already in the pool.














Dave and I posing for the camera.












Ryan and Dave wishing they remembered to pack their sunglasses.

I'm having TWINS!!

On July 20, 2007 We found out we are expecting twins. I'm currently13 1/2 wks pregnant and this picture was taken a week and a half ago. As you can see I'm already showing!
