Leaving Seattle and boarding the ship !

We left Tacoma and headed to down town Seattle, stopping first at another National Park in the old Downtown area, Klondike Gold Rush National Park. A very neat place to visit giving us a bit of why the places in Alaska we were about to see were developed for the gold rush. The park rangers posed for a picture with us !And we were off to the ship ! Such ease they move people around with, leaving our suitcases which magically turned up in your staterooms.
We of course found FOOD for lunch first thing ! It was cold and rainy, but we searched out a few fun things on deck, played some shuffleboard and looked around at our new home for the week.
and before we knew it we set sail for Alaska ! An adventure everyone should experience !

How fun to watch a big ship leave port !
