Alaska, ho!

On Thursday morning we are headed to the airport to go to Seattle where our Cruise ship awaits. I am starting to get SO excited! Our family preparations (aside from tickets, etc.) began weeks ago at the library where we got a whole stack of books on the Iditarod, bears, huskies, flying on an airplane, ships and boats, etc. Every day we've read one and we've begun talking about our actual trip.
Isaiah is very excited about seeing whales and going to the airport. Tonight we went to Toys R Us and he got to pick out some new crayons and a 5-pack of new matchbox cars. Eric pulled four choices from the shelf and out of the four Isaiah chose the 'airport vehicles' (de-icer, re-fueler, etc.).
I'm grateful for the chance to go on this cruise. It will be a much needed rest and I'm really looking forward to spending time together as a family. Meeting some sled dog pups is an extra added plus.
Looking forward to posting some pictures when we return.
