A Summer Vacation for the Ages!

Usually, my summers haven't been that exciting as of lately. Most of the time, they either involve me taking the occasional trip to my grandfather's property up in Lexington (Such as for the 4th of July), or simply taking the time to relax and enjoy this leisurely time of the year around home.

However, this year broke the mold for a change. Back in July, I went on an Alaskan cruise with my immediate family (And a soon-to-be sister-in-law), and it was quite the journey. We flew out of Detroit early in the morning, stopped at Seattle, took another flight to Vancouver, then boarded the ship the next day. From Ketchikan to Juneau and beyond, here's a couple photos each for the locations we visited.
