In mid July we tagged along on a big friends trip to Alaska! 

Departing from Seattle, we visited Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, and Victoria, British Columbia.

This was Vera's first cruise and while the boat was a little big for her taste (16-diver live-a-boards are still more her style), it was a very convenient way to travel with a large group of friends with kids of different ages.
