• Okay finally here are some pictures frm my vacation:

  
  

  This is the whole family (minus me) on the boat leaving Seattle: Dad, Mom, brother-in-law (Kyung), sister (Joyce), Dylan, and Gabriel

  
  

  

  
  

  My sister's family:

  
  

  

  
  

  Mom, Dad, myslef on the mornig of the third day.  The boat was docking in Ketchikan.  It was a beautiful morning. 

  
  

  

  
  

  This is the sun just rising above the mountains with the fog just about breaking up.  We were trully blessed during this trip.  We had no rain the entire time until the last day.  Which is very rare.

  
  

  

  
  

  Of cousre we can't have a sunrise without a sunset:

  
  

  

  
  

  This picture is a little blurry.  (I think the lens on my camera became misaligned.  I have since fixed the problem, but not in time to reshoot the picture.)  We had just finished a seven mile bike ride to the this glacier, and afterwards we went to a brewer tour and tasting. (Well, it was more tasting than touring.)

  
  

  

  
  

  Well the start point of our bike ride was this church.  With a view like that I would have trouble paying attention to the sermon.

  
  

  

  
  

  Somebody said they wanted to see a picture of an iceberg.  I took this as we sailed into the Tracey Arm of Glacier Bay.  Our cruise line is one of the few lines that are allowed into that area.  Seeing the untouched creation on either side of us was a trully humbling exeprience.  No pictures or words can begin to describe the beauty of it.

  
  

  

  
  

  The very end of the fjord that we were in.  The moutain and the glacier reflecting of the water, this picture just not do it any justice.

  
  

  

  
  

  Another family picture (grandparents and grandkids):

  
  

  

  
  

  Yep that's me on the horse.  (Yes, I do know how to ride a horse.)  I love the background view. 

  
  

  

  
  

  This is Vancouver Island.  My church has a missions team going there next week.  We were sailing by it so I thought I decided to take a picture.

  
  

  

  
  

  Here we are next to our boat.

  
  

  

  
  

  Some final shots of Alaska:

  
  

  

  
  

  Here are some fun shots:

  
  

  This was a pub I went to while the boat was stopped in Victoria. (I took a pub tour/crawl.)  They brewed their own beer on site.  They had the best beers, in my opinion, on the tour.  They also had some awsome chocolates; I bought 5 kilos to bring home and share with my small group, but for some reason it was all gone by Friday.

  
  

  

  
  

  My favorite beer of the tour (it was a stout [a dark brewed beer]):

  My parents under the sign for the first Starbuck's in Seattle.

  
  

  

  
  

  My brother-in-law coming out of the first Starbuck's with my sister's daily fix of coffee.

  
  

  

  
  

  I have more  pictures.  I just chose some highlights and things I thought looked good.  If you want to see the rest I will post those to Flikr (eventually). 

  
  

  I hope this appeases the masses who wanted to see pictures.
