2016 - Alaska Vacation Take a look at some of the photos I took on our trip.  Just click the above link. We had a great time - the weather cooperated and we were able to do a lot of different things.  Cruising is certainly a great way to vacation.   We traveled with Sue and Gerry Olson which added to the fun. We spent a couple of days in Vancouver, British Columbia prior to leaving on our cruise.  We spent one day touring the city, using a hop on hop off bus system to get around.  The second day we went up to Whistler, the site of the Olympic ski village.   The day was sunny and warm and the views were great.

We have probably spent more time so far this summer sitting on our patio or the deck and enjoying our backyard than we have in previous summers. The biggest reason for this is that we have been home much more with nowhere to go. Both Paul and I have been enjoying watching the different birds that come to feed at the bird feeders. We have also watched a couple of rabbits and lots of squirrels. We have added more flowers to the yard and flowering bushes. It has changed quite a bit in the seven years we have lived in the house.     Backyard Photos
