Craft What Matters

Hi friends! Happy Friday from Juneau, Alaska... although I still need to share our adventures from our day at sea (Tuesday) and our day in Sitka (Wednesday).

I don't have a lot of photos from our day at sea. We had breakfast in the windjammer buffet and then Nate's parents were picked for the Love & Marriage Game Show on the ship... and they won!! It was rather hysterical and they got a free set of Bamboo sheets as part of their prize!

Sitka was beautiful. We went to the Fortress of the Bear and saw some rescued whild bears and then walked around town for a bit. We grabbed a Huckleberry Margarita at the bar right next to the boat before heading back to our cabin.

Then it was time to watch karaoke at Bolero's!

Good morning, friends! On Day 3 we boarded the boat, Anthem of the Seas.

But before our boarding we ventured back to Pike Place for a few last minute things and took a quick trip to the Gum Wall since we were so close!

Then it was on the boat. As acheivers we got a water bottle and participated in a scavenger hunt to collect stickers for our water bottle from each of the Stampin' Up Leadership, including SU CEO Sara Douglass.

Phew... what a curse and a blessing to not be able to use the internet! It's amazing how many times you reach for your phone to settle a debate, answer a question, find a location or just check your email!

But with no wi-fi available, I'm just getting to our day 2 adventures in Seattle!

We actually started the day exploring "beneath the streets," with thr Seattle Underground tour. The city burned down in 1869, and much of the current city was built on top of the old city! Cool to see the old nooks and crannies and hear the different ways they attempted to use the old space.

Then we took the ferry to Bainbridge Island and found one of the Thomas Danby trolls - Pia the Peacekeeper! So fun!

Next it was to the top of the giant ferris wheel, with a quick photo bomb with Big Foot. Step count for the day was 14,399!

(I'm required to tell you that less than 1% demonstrators of demonstrators earn these incentive trips)

We've had an adventurous 3 days in Seattle and are now waiting to board the bus to get to the Anthem of the Seas! (I'm required to tell you that fewer than 1% of Stampin’ Up!’s demonstrators worldwide achieve this result)

There were lots of highlights to our visit so I'll start with Day 1. We started with an early morning visit to the Space Needle and the Chilhuly Glass Museum before heading over to Pike Place Market for a yummy lunch at Elliott's and "catching" the throwing of the fish at Pike's Place Fish Market.

We, of course, had ice cream and checked out some of the shops!
