This morning, we walked to the Space Needle and went to the top. We enjoyed going to the top and were thankful that tourist season was over to avoid long crowds. We then headed back to Pike Place Market to get some lunch before going to the airport. We went in the original Starbuck (where [...]

Bob and I had decided to spend a day in Seattle before heading home. I don’t recall if we just thought it would be fun to do, or if our air tickets were cheaper. On Sunday, the cruise ended and we said our goodbyes to the rest of our family. It was a fun week, [...]

We’re excited to be starting our cruise. Here is our itinerary. Today is a day at sea. Bob and I woke up early since we’re still on EST, so we went for an early morning walk around the promenade deck. It was fun looking over the back of the ship and seeing the huge wake. [...]

Bob and I were lucky enough to get the new Canon fisheye lens without having to be on a long waiting list. Thank you Adorama! Here’s a few of my favorite fisheye photographs from our quick weekend in Vancouver, BC. This one of our feet had a globe on the ground. It was directly under [...]
