Vacations

I love vacations. This pic is from the beautiful, sandy picturesque beaches of.........Chicago? Yes Chicago. Home of America's baseball team. No, there is not an ocean in Chicago but there is a Great Lake. Anyway this post is about a very special vacation that I'm looking forward to.

In June, me and Cort are going on an Alaskan cruise for our five year anniversary. Cortney has always wanted to go on one, but it's never been something that I've wanted to do that bad. However, I have always loved going on vacations with her because we always have such a good time together.

I have recently changed my outlook on Alaskan cruises. Everyone who has been on one has remarked on how awesome they are, and I'm actually pretty excited to do some excursions like rafting and encountering polar bears and the abominable snowman.

Cortney was excited to see penguins, but I told her I thought that they are Antarctic birds. I'm not sure. we'll see. Hey, you never know........ when your going to a far-away, fairy tale country like Alaska. That may be a stretch but I really look forward to it. I have no doubt that it will be the best vacation ever, spent with the one I love.

Here's to snow-capped glaciers, gazing at flying reindeer, and encountering polar wildlife. Alaska the final frontier..................I'm ready!
