Well, we just got back from a wonderful week long cruise to Alaska with Alex's family --- Adults only! It was really a great time! We went to Sitka, Juneau and Ketchikan as well as a quick stop in Victoria BC. I just wanted to post a few 
pictures to update things.
pictures to update things.Day 1 & 2 were spent on the ship just relaxing and sailing. It was cool but still pretty nice and it was great to
relax. On Sunday, August 3rd we made our first trek from the boat to Sitka, Alaska. Most of us just explored the town of Sitka and spent tim
e shopping, eating, shopping and relaxing -- 4 of Alex's brothers (Paul, Doug, Mike & David) braved the open seas for some deep sea fishing. They caught a couple of King Salmon, which had to be tossed back since the season was closed early, Pink Salmon, Coho and Sea Bass. Doug won rock-paper-scissors and had all the fish shipped to his place in Minnesota. The rest of us were just glad not to be horribly seasick.

The town itself was pretty cool. It was the main town during the Russian period and as a result has a lot of architecture and culture inf
luenced by the original Russian settlers. Another thing that was cool was that there were all these little islands in the bay that had only one house on it. The way to and from home was by boat -- pretty isolated but also very cool!
