September 2021

September 31 After a remarkable weak at sea, Kassie and I returned to reality on Friday evening and reunited with the kids. They had a pretty good time with Kassie's parents as far as we could tell and had successfully done all their various activities and scheduled events while we were away. For our part, we had a very enjoyable time. We left Seattle last Friday on the Ovation of the Seas, a ship in the Royal Caribbean fleet. It took us to 3 stops in Alaska including Juneau, Skagway, and Sitka, and then on the way home took us by the Endicott Glacier. Everything was glorious! No rain at any of the stops, including leaving and returning to Seattle. We had amazing food (my favorite part), saw a very rare site of whales using the "bubble netting" technique (group hunting) to gather herring fish, did some fun dance classes together, played pickleball, and much much more. It was pretty epic! Pre-cruise remote COVID testing adventure Arriving super early at the ship in Seattle
