North to the Future: Cruising to Alaska

At the end of May, we went on a 7-day Alaskan cruise for his mom's birthday. There was a time when Matt and I cruised a lot, but this was our first non-Caribbean cruise. I think this trip taught me I've outgrown cruises in general, and I'd definitely prefer to go back to Alaska without the time-constraints that naturally come with being on the cruise's schedule at each port.

That said, I keep referencing this cruise in posts, so I feel I should at least recap the highlights!

I wish I'd had the appreciation for slow and steady progress in my twenties that I do now. It would have saved me a lot of grief and frustration.

I can't believe I worried this race would be hot and sunny. Instead, we got typical June-uary weather that arrived race morning and blew over by the afternoon. Just my luck!
