     
For our first anniversary, we took a cruise to Alaska.
We actually signed up for it before we knew BabyJ was on the
way, but it really worked out... we're not really sure How,
When, or if, we'd be able to do this again for a few years,
so its good we got it in now... :-)
We had a GREAT time, and we were VERY lucky with the
weather! We met some memorable people on the ship,
namely "Hunky Dorey", a waiter in the Lido Lounge who
remembered everyone's name by the second day of the cruise.
    
The cruise we took was a "7-Night Seattle Round-Trip", which
made it nice - we drove to the terminal, got on the boat,
came back, and drove home... very easy!
