One of the best parts of vacation was me being able to pack the suitcases and bringing only the cute clothes, that match! I LOVED seeing my girls dressed nicely instead of in their wild, mis-matched own choosing attire! Dressed up for the cocktail party and dinner!
This was our home for a week! It made me laugh out loud. Ellie slept on the top bunk, Dani underneath her, Kent in the middle, on the trundle, and me on the other end. It was nice and cozy. I did enjoy sleeping with the girls and listening to their sisterly chit chat and routines. Each night they gave each other kisses, said good night (over and over), checked to make sure each other had the right baby and was happy and content to sleep. By the time their whole routine was done and over with I was fast asleep, it's quite the process that I never knew existed.
The other best thing about cruising is kids camp! The girls LOVED it, they actually asked us to go away when we went to pick them up. Who wouldn't love face painting, pillow fights, an indoor jungle gym, crafts, pillow fights and watching whales swim alongside the ship?
While the girls were in kids camp, Kent and I were at art auctions or cocktail parties. This is an original painting that we bought from one of the artists on board, Marko. (I realize you can't see the painting, it's a NewYork city scene, that I love. It's somewhere that I've always wanted to go). Two artists, Marko and Dominic Pangborn were part of the Parkwest VIP "experience." We got to hang out and get to know them all week. It's pretty cool to know the artist behind the paintings and what inspires them. In some cases, it makes the art work make so much more sense.
More Kids camp, Blues Clues!
Towel animal, which the girls loved!
On a hike in Ketchikan.
Polar bear hugs and Alaskan hats.
Kent made a new BFF! :)
We saw Santa in Ketchikan. The girls actually talked to him and gave him hugs. Apparently it was all ok because he didn't have gloves on......I guess gloves are scary and painful???

Hey...you had a cabin with a porthole!!! Classy!
Fond memories of Ketchikan from our cruise two years ago and it looks like you had good weather. When we were there everyone kept commenting on how lucky we were that the weather was nice.
Did Kent get me an autographed flick from his new BFF???
