Alaska Family Trip 2001

Alaska Cruise 2001

Our Family Photo Gallery

On May 26th, many of our family met in Vancouver BC, ( 22 of us in count ) for the trip of a life time. My mom had earlier recounted that when I was a little boy I promised to take her on a cruise, that she wanted it now, and that she wanted to go to Alaska. The photos below highlight us through-out our cruise. I hope you enjoy the many smiles and that you can feel the good times we had. Be sure you do not miss the Extra Gallery link at the bottom of this page.

Tuesday, we arrived in Skagway. These pictures were taken on the motor coach ride from Frasier back to Skagway. Our first stop was at a single support suspension bridge. The second one was at Liarsville. Do you know why they named Liarsville what the named it? We do.

While cruising in Glacier Bay and watching Marjerie (the big white glacier) we were all impressed by the massivness of Marjerie and applauded each time ice broke off and crashed into the bay.
