Cruise to Alaska

We had a great cruise on the Celebrity Infinity. Lydia got a lot of attention during the muster drill because she had to wear a life vest that didn’t have holes for her arms. Her legs went out the holes in the bottom but her arms were zipped up on the inside. Amazingly she didn’t seem to mind the baby straight jacket.

Our balcony cabin was a little tight with four people, but we were comfortable. We put Wesley in the overhead bunk. He did great! Lydia slept in a pack-n-play placed in front of the sliding glass door. My parents were on one side and my in-laws were on the other side.

We had beautiful weather in Alaska. It was sunny and in the low 60s in all three ports. The day viewing Hubbard Glacier was colder but I was fine in a sweater and pullover fleece out on our balcony for a few hours. The mountains were still covered in snow and they looked absolutely beautiful. We also enjoyed the long hours of daylight. The sun went down near 11 PM and came up around 4:00.

In Sitka, we walked to the National Park and then to the Raptor Center. This was actually my favorite port. The Infinity

These are my parents.

After the Raptor Center, Wesley fell asleep on Chris' shoulders!

The scenic shot of Alaska is gorgeous! Great pics of all of you, too! Wesley falling asleep on Chris' shoulders is hilarious. What is the Raptor Center?

At the Raptor Center, they rehab eagles and owls with the goal of releasing them back into the wild. If the birds can't be released dued to their injuries, they are given to zoos.

LOVE that pic of you and Lydia. I can't believe Wesley can sleep "sitting" up. Ha!
