More Fun Cruise Photos!

So we’re on the Norweigan Pearl for a 5-day Repositioning cruise from Vancouver B.C. to Los Angeles.  This is my first ever cruise, and I am just blown away by the size of the ship and the sheer volume of activites available and places to explore.  You’ve already seen a few pictures of some of the things we’ve been up to, here are a few more:

Happy Wedding!

Chris and Mandi got married today and I have a few representative photos here. It was a really pretty location, and the ceremony was sweet. Overall a lovely day!

More from the new house!

The sidewalks and driveway are poured, and there’s a handrail for the front porch now. Also, the hardwoods are nearly all in, and the bathroom tiling and all the granite countertops are in process! There’s so much work going on, and it’s looking awesome!

Effies Burgers

This is one-quarter if a single cheeseburger at Effies in Lewiston, ID. A.J., Chris, and I each had a quarter (plus some tater tots and deep fried mushrooms!) and we were nicely stuffed. It was one HUGE burger, and very tasty!

Big Four Ice Caves

We took a little hike up to the Big Four Ice Caves this afternoon. I had never even heard of them before, but A.J. went when he was younger and said they were really cool, which they totally were!  This is another in the wide variety of hikes available in the Mt. Baker / Snoqualmie National Forest!
