Playing shuffleboard on the top deck
Trev and Rob swimming in the back pool
My mad shuffleboard skills, you see that reach? yep, of course I beat Trev
Trev showing off for the crowd
We were totally becoming professional cruisers by this point
See told you
Last stop of the trip was at the Butchart Gardens in Victoria, B.C. which was awesome. It used to be a woman's house and she would have friends over for tea and everyone would admire her gardening handiwork...then she got the bright idea to start charging people and the rest is history!
Some of my faves
The grandchildren pic, I love this one.L to R: Sarah Robinson, Kate, Clai and Trevor around Grandpa Jim and Grannie De
These aren't real, but still cool, right?
Linda looking for a Christmas card pic...a hard task given the gazillion people swarming around the gardens and the general reluctance of everyone to want to stop and take the pic (doesn't that happen in every family?)
Quick fun fact...they grow all their flowers in greenhouses and then transplant them to the gardens, so if any flowers wilt or die, they just go grab some more from the greenhouse and re-plant, so the gardens are always changing. They were cool.
Back to our massive home away from home
And the final morning we cruised into Seattle at 6am just catching an awesome sunrise
Our flight didn't leave until the afternoon, so our friend Jack Holland showed us some sites and obviously we were excited for the tour!
At the Pike Place Market in Seattle...I think I would have a weekly flower habit if I lived here! Huge bunches like this one for only $10!!
Yum, doesn't this just say summer?
Here's Jack, giving us an alley tour. He is a very proud employee of the city recycling program.
Sending you a message in front of Seattle's awesome library
And home, Mt. Rainier, exhausted.
