Alaskan Cruise Part 6- final post

I am realizing that I do not have many pictures of our last two days.  Friday was a day at sea.  We went to another line dancing class, swam, played cards, worked out, and ate.  I should say here that Tim was a work out machine on the cruise.  He had 12 work out sessions in the 7 days we were on the ship.  He actually lost a pound!  Julie and Kelly worked out every day but one (or did you do it every day, Julie?), and Mark, Jodi, Lane, and Corbin saw their fair share of the fitness room too.  Am I leaving anyone out?  Each night at dinner Ryno would say that he feared he was going to have to start working out at some point.  I need to call and see if he has started yet. :)
Saturday was a day at sea until we docked in Victoria, Canada at 7pm.  We got off the ship and walked around a bit.  It was a quaint little town with interesting houses and beautiful flowers.
This is a part of the legislative building that was built in 1859.  Is that right, Mark?
 The Empress Hotel is famous.  After walking quite a distance to get there Mallory really wanted to know why it was famous.  It just is.  Some British royalty have been there.  How's that?
 The Smith family stayed a few extra days in Seattle after we got off the ship on Sunday.  We ate at the restaurant at the top of the Space Needle.  It rotates and gives you nice views of the city.


There you have it.  If you have survived all 6 of these posts, you are to be congratulated!  It was an amazing trip and we are all so very thankful to Gramps for taking us!
