Vancouver Skyline Population 670 thousand live in those buildings.

Skagway has a population of 950 residents and 951,000 visitors a year.  They had a great time and would go back.  Alaskan Population 600,000.   Anchorage has 350,000 people.  One in six residents is a licensed pilot.  They went the first week of August and it was great weather.  The Icy Straits stop had one passenger jump over board with a life jacket on.  He spent the next three days in the brig.  Who knows why? Good news is homeland security was on top of it.

Andrews Grandparents visit over Thanksgiving

We seemed to pack a lot of activities into a week.  Paula and Daron cooked most of the Thanksgiving meal.  David and Paula attended Addy's Kindergarten Thanksgiving Feast.  Everyone helped me transport my art to the Holiday Inn Express for our Christmas boutique.  Paula was instrumental in finishing my curio bottles with wire and arranging and rearranging my artwork during the show for maximum retail punch.  Addy and Paula decorated the Christmas tree and fairy garden and David fought the Black Friday crowd at our local True Value and scored two room heaters which my parents will especially enjoy!  Luckily there was no shoving or pushing in the store.  One highlight was taking Addy to dance class to try on her new costume for her December 17 recital.  Paula and I shopped at TJ Maxx, Target and Michaels  on Black Friday and it wasn't bad except for the three hour round trip drive.  Saturday we all went to cut and haul wood and there was SNOW.  W e were in heaven and so was our Alaskan Malamute Opal Luna!  More photos to come.
