Cruise to Alaska

I am going to have to do this post in sections since it is so big and I took hundreds of pictures. My brother Jesse is a traveler and he is always planning trips and cruises so he called me up one day and said he was planning a cruise to Alaska and really wanted me to go. My Aunt Mary, Uncle Bill, Uncle Kenneth, and Uncle Merrill are some of my Dad’s siblings and they were all going as well as their spouses, then my parents and my brother and his wife and my cousin Wes were going. I really wanted to go but with Josh just quitting his job at the site and not knowing what construction was going to do and how our finances were going to be I just couldn’t commit right then. I also had a problem and had no one to watch my little ones since my parents were going on the cruise and they are the ones who watch my kids for me when I am gone. The time came to have to say yes or no and Josh said “Let’s go it will be fun” so we booked the trip! It came so fast and I was so nervous but also very excited. My sister watched my kids for me but we had to bring Raegan I just couldn’t leave her home with my sister with so many kids. We were so excited to go on this fun adventure with my family. I am so afraid of airplanes and even more afraid of boats so I had a lot of nerves going crazy. I was so sad to leave my kids home, I have a really hard time leaving them :( We drove to Boise Idaho and spent the night, then flew out of Boise the next morning to Seattle where we boarded the ship. So here is the beginning of our adventure starting with the airports.
