Part "Vacation", part "Staycation", and entirely fabulous!!
It all started on my birthday...a few days in Seattle with long walks along beaches and up/down hills...a few days in Juneau Alaska seeing the sights...a few days back in Seattle kayaking and playing in the sun...it's been heaven!
Mom, Dad and I hopped aboard an Alaska Airlines jet early Thursday morning and took in the sights, sounds and tastes of Juneau for a few days: a walking/hiking tour of the town, a bus tour to the glaciers, a fabulous salmon bake, the Alaskan brewery tour, and some of the best sashimi I've ever tasted. It was an incredible time, and we're already planning a return trip for kayking, hiking and a little BBQing of our own! This was my first trip to Alaska, and it exceeded all of my expectations. The people were as friendly and the scenery was breathtaking.
I'm not going to be ready to go back to work on Wednesday...if only I could play all the time and never have to work! I am rested and rejuvenated...it's time to get back to real life :-)
