We just got back from a cruise with John. It was seven days and stopped in Astoria, Seattle, Vancouver, and Victoria. It was a lot of fun! The weather was clear and sunny, but really cold.
Sienna and Jeff spent a lot of time in the indoor pool, which was warmed to about 85 degrees!
In Astoria, OR (where
Goonies and Kindergarten Cop were filmed), we rented a car and drove down the coast to
Tillamook and indulged ourselves in lots of cheese and ice cream. YUM!
Beautiful drive!
In Seattle, we went to famous Pike Place Market. Everything looked so fresh and delicious!
Then, we rode the monorail to the Space Needle and went to the top. Gorgeous views!
There are still rides and lots of activities for kids around the Space Needle. Sienna loved the blow-up jungle gym.
Next stop: Vancouver, British Colombia. We walked to Stanley Park and visited the Aquarium, where we saw a dolphin show and stared at the beluga whales for awhile (very intriguing creature; it looks like a giant marshmallow man with a smile on his face just slowly gliding through the water).
We met some great friends at dinner; they're expecting in August, so they were very tolerant of Sienna throwing food and silverware and making a disaster.
Our waiters were also very patient with Sienna and everynight I'd apologize for the mess and Sergio (the one on the right) would say in his Honduras accent "it is my greatest pleasure to serve Sienna." The service on the ship was excellent!

What a blast!!! You guys always take advantage and see so many things, I love that about you guys. What an adventure to do all those things on the cruise. I do have to say though that the picture in front of Tillamook made my mouth water. That was the highlight for me of your trip (I am living vicariously through you guys), I used to look forward to flights that served little Tillamook cheeses in their lunch menu. I don't think anyone does that anymore.
I'm sure everyone just LOVED Sienna! How can you not? She is gorgeous and such a good little girl. Glad you guys had a great time!!!
by the way, John looks great, tell him hi from us!
What a trip! I am glad it was fun! The places look gorgeous! I wish we could have gone! And Tillamook is my favorite! I think it is great that the ship will dock so you can tour the area. How fun! Sienna probably did wonderfully! Looks like a blast!
And yes, it is my turn to come out there! I'll call John! JK! Maybe in the fall!
I love the 1st picture of John and Sienna sitting in their "chairs"! I bet he will treasure that one. I want you to tell Sienna to stop growing up! every time I see her, she's a different girl...not my baby anymore!
Love, Grandma
No Wonder I haven't seen a post in a while. You have been playing. Looks like you had a great time. Little Sienna is not so little anymore. I can't believe how fast she is growing. Still as cute as can be though. Can't wait to see you guys on the beach soon!!!!!
Looks like a lot of fun! We can't wait to move back and spend more times with you guys...and to see Sienna all grown up! She is a little girl...not a baby anymore!
Looks like you had so much fun! That is so cool that you got to do all of those things, I especially like the Tillamook trip. Sounds Yummy.
I love your face in the first picture with Sienna and Fylnni!!! Are you worried he is going to touch your baby or something??? Ha ha! I can also just imagine you staring for so long at Mr. Marshmellow Man... too funny and yes, very interesting animal! Glad you guys got to spend time together and share so many fun memories.
"it is my greatest pleasure to look at pictures of SIENNA!!!!"
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun...how was traveling with Sienna? I can't believe how big she is getting! SO cute!
