Home means Nevada

I am back... Things are slowly coming to normal. Although I seem to have picked up a head cold somewhere between Seattle and Reno- I am feeling much better thanks to NyQuil- that stuff is magic, I swear.

We had a wonderful vacation. I finally stopped feeling the motion of the ocean on Sunday, two days after we got off the boat. We had a couple really rough days at sea- the first day we had 15-20 foot swells- yozzers...
We really enjoyed all of the ports that we stopped off in, and wished we had more time to explore and be adventurous. 12 hours simply isn't enough time to do it all...


We ate and ate explored and ate some more.

Drank a lot less then I thought we would,

played bingo till we could stand it no longer,


laughed and stood in line and refused to share ice cream.
Took a tram,

a train


and scooters
to see all the sights.

We danced and laughed some more.
We slept in late because it was dark in our room and because the ship rocked us to sleep each night and mostly because we could.

I am glad to be home and not sure if I would do the cruise ship thing again, but wouldn't not do it just for the experience it gave us. The crew on the ship were wonderful, I am not quite sure how they do it! They go almost 24 hours a day with hardly a breath in between - and all with a smile. Fabulous people from all over the world.



I am pretty sure I gained some weight, they say the average is 2 pounds a day- CRAP- I didn't believe it until I realized what they were feeding us. I had to be really careful to not take in more then I needed... We also walked up and down the flights of stairs in the boat rather than take the elevator most of the time.


I did get some work done on the baby sweater. I am on the home front with just the collar to go. I don't want to work on it while I have a cold, just seems wrong to make baby stuff while the nose is runny, ya know?

I am going to link you over to my flickr site to check out all the photos... There are still a ton more I will be adding mostly from the first day or so in Seattle, I got some great shots at Pikes Market and Juneau- some are on film that needs to be developed, others are on a friends computer, we had to unload our card after the first couple of days so we could continue to take pictures... I will make sure to let you know when they are out there.


Enjoy. (oh and props to hubby, he took most of these landscape shots, aren't they great?)

I know I have a ton of catching up to do and blogs to visit. I will do my best to stop by and say hello- although I am thinking over the summer I may slow down on the internet usage.. I am feeling like I need to get out there and play. I need to take all the inspiration that I have gathered from everyone in Blogville and put it into action... We will see.
