On June 28, 2015 we boarded a plane for Seattle, Washington for the trip of a lifetime.  We were getting on a cruise and sailing thru the inside passage of Alaska on June 30, 2015.  This was the cruise to celebrate Anne & Richard's upcoming 25th wedding anniversary in August.  It took 2 years worth of saving and was the trip we dreamed about for years.  Just 6 weeks before we left, Richard lost his job due to cutbacks.  Anne thought for sure they were going to have to cancel.  Richard wouldn't hear of it and insisted that they still go because another time may never come.  Anne was glad he insisted because it was the vacation of lifetime.  This was the last time that the family could definitely count on family time with Samantha.  She was entering her senior year in high school and once she graduated, there were no guarantees of being together due to her hectic college schedule.  Between the three of them, over 1800 pictures were taken.  This website contains most of those pictures (some were burst shots of the same image) that the family wanted to share with everyone.
