Cruise!!! Sitka! (Part 5)


 Yes Sitka. The place that one of my favorite movies takes place at. "The Proposal"
 Yes this movie. This would be my favorite scene. No it's not actually filmed in Sitka it just takes place there. It was filmed in like Minnesota or something.
 Everywhere we went there were fur galleries and these man panties awkwardly funny I know!


 Again funny stuff everywhere in Alaska!
Dan would just kind of wander off and disappear. We found him randomly sleeping on this rock so we decided to creep up on him and scare him.
Trent and Dan had a bro-mance. So did Trent and Sam.
Aren't they adorable!

While we wandered around we came across this old building that was being revamped. It was an old college that they were turning into an arts summer camp. 


We ended up doing a service project while we were there. We moved the beds and put them together in each of the rooms and moved these desks.
 Not very many of us were fond of the idea of having to move beds and everything we just wanted to wander around. But when the guy who was in charge jokingly said hey you guys could help move beds! Dan and Sam immediately jumped on the bandwagon and said yes. Later we were ok that they said yes because it ended up being lots of fun and they fed us too! :)

 This is where the dance classes are going to be.
 Trent was a sweetie and gave us all dandelions to treasure forever.
Even Dan got one. :)

Cruise!!! Glaciers! (Part 4)

 One of the days we were there we did this long tour looking at these glaciers. We were worried we were going to miss the glaciers. However turns out the tour of the glaciers were form 1 to 6. We saw plenty of them :)



 Here is our room! Katie got the bed that came out of the ceiling and me and Jenica got the ones that were already out. We had a good time. Every night we would get hamburgers. They were so yummy! That is pretty much what we did the whole time we were on the boat. Eat and Sleep.

Cruise!!! Juneau! (Part 3)

Should have put this sooner... but oh well. Here is our boat. It's name is Weston :)
And here is Weston at our first stop in Juneau!


Juneau was a pretty place but also kinda ghetto... allow me to explain.
 Here is how they keep people from stealing their stop signs.
And this is how they keep people from letting their animals poop where they please....
However they are good at keeping it clean when saving kids from the bad stuff.





 Everything either had to do with bears or whales. I was so mad! Baby whales were doing tricks on the side of our boat and I missed it! I only got to see a tale of a whale... :(
I tried to get Katie to get it to look like it's coming out of my mouth. Instead it looks like I have a goatie.
 We got to see tons of glaciers! They were awesome! Also fun to crack jokes of oh no... we've hit a glacier. Now we're going to pull a titanic.

 See what I mean? Bears. Everywhere!

Cruise!!! (Part 2)

The boat basically was like Vegas. Everything had so much detail and was so fancy. Also smelt like cigarettes and alcohol.. joy...
This here is our center piece we decorated ourselves. This here is symbolism that we didn't go anywhere without our walkie talkies and room cards. We needed our cards to get on and off our boat, to get in our rooms, and to buy stuff if we wanted on the boat. We couldn't live without the walkie talkies because they replaced our phones. We didn't get cell service and couldn't use our phones unless we were in Alaska. It was really hard going without phones. And now it's weird going places without needing my room card.
There were dances every  night but they were lame! I was so disappointed! We were the only college aged people on the boat. There might have been like five more but the old people out numbered us big time.
This is the new shirt I bought for the cruise :) I love it! It has a quote on the front that says "I don't know who invented high heels but all women owe him a lot!" yup... definitely was a t shirt made specifically for me!
We went and were exploring the boat after dinner. Here we were officially going through Canada. 
Here is Katie, Jenica, and Sam and Dan Force.
 Looks like Vegas I'm telling you...
This would be no wanna be Vegas boat without an Elton John impersonator. This guy was hilarious!

Our feet hurt from walking in heels all night so we decided to relax and soak our feet in the hot tub for a while. Also this is the pool that was inside the boat. It was amazing!

We played a game of Ping Pong and things got a little crazy and we broke the light... Luckily it was fixed before anyone could even notice :) That is what Sam gets for being like 6'5".
