Alaska 2005

We finally took the vacation we have dreamed about-A week long cruise to Alaska.  Thom had never been on a cruise before.  I had been to Alaska in 1989 with my parents to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary with my brother and grandparents.  This trip reminded me that it is a beautifull area and we can't wait to go back.  I have posted just a few of the photos we took.  We have over 150 in the scrapbook!
