Our first cruise....

Well, Brian and I just recently took our first vacation without Kylie. Our first cruise! It's funny how much we felt we needed a break, and then how fast we just wanted to be back holding her! :) She was definitely the topic of most of our conversations. It was good to get away and spend some time as husband and wife though. We love crusing as well! It was a blast! It was a sort of a trip for work (more like a reward for Brian I guess), so we didn't get to pick where we sailed. But it was a beautiful trip. We sailed from Seattle (my first time being there) and hit a Nanimo, BC and Victoria. We also had a day on the sea, which was nice. They were both GORGEOUS places! Amazing! It was a bit cold, and next time I think we would go somewhere warmer. But it was great! We would go out on our balcony in the morning and breathe in the fresh air, and thought it couldn't get any better than this. Unless Kylie was with us! But it was a great time and we would recommend it to anyone! :)

When we got back to Seattle, we had almost 12 hours to spend in Seattle. So we were lucky enough to be able to spend time with Brenden and Tatem! Thanks for being GREAT hosts! We had a blast! We got to go to the Locks and see Salmon, eat YUMMY seafood, experience Pike's Market, see your beautiful apartment, and just have fun! And don't forget...running into TY PENNINGTON at the Crab Pot! FUN!!!! Thanks for a wonderful day! I love Seattle and hope to go back soon!

This is what we would often wake up to in the morning. There was SUCH beauty all around! We could wake up, put our robes on, step out onto our balcony, and see things like this! GORGEOUS!

The beautiful Empress hotel in Victoria!

Thanks Brenden and Tatem for showing us around Seattle!!!

We had a blast just goofing off in Seattle!

On the cruise, Brian found out there were still Pirates in real life. He couldn't stop thinking about us getting attacked the rest of the time! :)
