Sapphire Princess

You don't realize how large the ship is until you stand right next to it. We seemed to be closer to it in the Skagway port than any of the others. It was a great ship and I loved the room we had. We had connecting balconies with the Horaceks and the Sharps....lots of good laughs were had on the Sapphire Princess. Had to post the one of Melanie with my layout. She wants to go on vacation too!

Isabel Christmas 2007

Here is another shot of Isabel, Christmas 2007. She's probably thinking, "Why are they taking my picture again.....I just want to play with my toys"!

Skagway

Our next stop is Skagway! I love having my photo taken by the ships photographers! Makes it so much easier to remember where you are. On the next page, you will see Sheryl Bizzell and her family. I knew she was on the NCL ship and they were hitting the same ports as us everyday. But, with four ships in town I didn't think we would run into each other. So, I was so pleasantly surprised to bump into her! We had just come out of the first shop of the day and right in front of Starbucks someone grabs my arm and it's Sheryl!!!! Steve took a picture of us and one of Sheryl's family. I wonder who from work/hometown I will see on my next vacation!

More of Mount Roberts

After we got off the tram, we walked on some of the trails. If you notice the picture of the tree trunk, there is a carving in it. So many people just walked past it and didn't even notice it. It was amazing! It was so peaceful up there. The sky was so blue. I'm glad we took the tram! This was a little excursion we didn't plan through the ship.

Over the Top

The weather was just perfect in Juneau! In the 70's, perfect for walking around town and enjoying shopping, eating and the good company! Steve took a great picture of our ship when we were going up to Mount Roberts in the tram. It was the largest ship in the port. In the other photo, you can see the trams. One heading up and the other down.

Mount Roberts

We took the tram up to Mount Roberts. Our last activity in Juneau! What a beautiful place. The view was incredible. We could see the little golf course on our ship from up here. We couldn't find it by walking around onboard.

Gavigan's!

Here is my latest and it's before midnight! This photo is one of me and my siblings. It was taken in 1961. My sister Regina is standing next to me and my sister Nancy is the baby and the only boy is my brother Michael. We were living South Gate when this was taken. Here's a couple of unknown facts about the picture.......Nancy's dress was really red and Regina and I are sharing a pair of shoes (one each). We couldn't find the other pair!

More of My Girls

I had to add a second page showing their facepaintings. They were so serious about this experience. It was so much fun to share in these moments with my girls!

My Girls

This photo is of Melanie and Isabel, summer of 2009. We were at Disneyland and they had their faces painted over in the Princess area. They are both so precious to me. Did you know that the little girls can have a complete makeover to become a "princess" for about $75.00! They probably would have loved that but were so pleased with their designs. They are Princesses to me! I guess that makes me the Queen Mother! LOL

Brenna and Isabel Christmas 2007

Christmas of 2007! Yes, I have so many memories to still scrapbook! I could do this everyday for eight hours and may still not be "caught up"! Here we have Brenna and Isabel opening presents Christmas morning at our house. Since they were born, we have been so lucky to be able to see all of our granchildren during the Christmas holidays. We will have to see what happens next year. The Ramos Family have moved to North Carolina. I say thank goodness for iChat!
