Getting Last Pix for Photo Book
The last couple of cruise days flew by so quickly. We stopped in Juneau for a day
— it’s a city with a good bit of Alaskan charm. Took some photos there that will tell the story in my cruise memory book. Then on to Victoria, British Columbia for a delightful day in this beautiful city with a distinct British flavor. Then back to Seattle. Then home.

Day 3 of our Alaskan Cruise found us at sea for the day – heading up to the Hubbard Glacier. Plenty of downtime, opportunities for photos at sea and

This is the day we set sail aboard the Celebrity Infinity from Pier 66 in Seattle. We were able to board early and I spent the first few hours snapping digital photos for the first part of my Alaskan Cruise memory book.

Having arrived a full day before our cruise was set to depart, we had the opportunity to enjoy walking around Seattle. My camera was in hand the entire day, snapping the photo memories I thought I might like to see in my complete trip memory book.
My husband and I booked the trip with longtime friends, Ed and Pat. Ed is also an avid photographer who prefers putting people in front of his scenic shots. I, on the other hand, love taking snapshots of pure scenery, architecture, flowers and locations, sans smiling faces. He usually gets digital prints made from his photo adventures. I put mine on blogs. This time we’ll pool our digital photos and together, our photos will make a great memory book of our trip. continue reading
