Alaska 2023: Seattle

 Alaska 2023

Seattle

The reason you're seeing a picture of me in a suit leading off this post for a family trip to Alaska is that it started with me in Seattle for a week ahead for work. I had to attend a conference and we decided to take an Alaskan cruise out of Seattle on the back end of it, so the wife and kids, and Nana, flew up to join me at the end of my week.

I was in a high rise hotel in downtown, and the kids really loved the views. There was an airshow happening on the weekend they arrived and our windows were about the best seat in the house! We spent a couple of days doing the standard Seattle touristy things, including our usual of finding interesting places to eat and weird things to do.

Gum wall.......for some reason.

We found some place called the "Selfie Museum", which was mildly entertaining, but way overpriced.

Nel is my little pack mule on these vacations!

Seattle was cool. We had great weather, which certainly helped. It was an interesting few days before getting on the ship and heading north.
