HAPPY 4TH OF JULY FROM THE 49TH STATE
Happy 4th of July everyone!!! If you visit Alaska remember to take your rain jacket. Lol! It is so lush and green here and most of that is due to the fact that it rains all the time. The first time that I visited here we arrived and it was beautiful and sunny. I had no idea that it was not normal for that time of the year. It was so beautiful that day and it rained the remaining time we were there. Today was just misty and foggy. The fog hung low around the mountains but that didn’t stop the float planes from flying all day long.
Joe layered too with a long sleeve zip shirt and one of his favorite jackets. He took out the extra lining of the jacket though because he runs warmer than I do. I am always freezing and he is usually burning up.
We went downtown to meet Ashleigh for lunch. Then we took her car and rode around for a couple hours to just go exploring. We went and did a little shopping (gasp) but Joe is the only one who bought something. Lol! I waited until Ashleigh got off work and then we went to another store where she and I bought several things. I told her that I got to wear them while I was here in Juneau and then she could keep them if she wanted. She jumped at that offer. Lol!
I had to dig my boots out to bring with me. This is a far cry from my sandals that I have been wearing lately but I love this look. I also brought my Hunter rain boots with me so you might see those later in the week.
Do you know what my number one referrer page is? It is Pinterest! I truly appreciate every time you “pin” a picture. Heck, pin ALL the pictures if you want. Lol! Also, if you would like to share my posts on Facebook or Twitter, I would appreciate that. It helps get my blog out to more people, and I am sure you just want to spread the entertaining sayings I have. Lol! The comment section is at the end of the post, so keep scrolling. I look forward to reading all the comments, they make my day.

We are planning to go to Alaska next year for my mom’s 80th birthday (the 70+ model on my blog) and Nancy’s 70th birthday (the 60+ model). I may need to pick your brain on what we take—I don’t even think I have rain gear—eek!

Taking my 1st Alaskan cruise this July. It is terrific getting all the pointers on what to wear. Thanks!
Happy 4th of July! Alaska looks beautiful. Enjoy your time there!
The weather in Alaska seems pretty similar to where I live in Ireland, today it’s wet, dull and dreary though probably not as cold. I know our winters here are nowhere near as severe as they are in Alaska. Lovely pics, the scenery looks absolutely stunning!! Hope you and Joe enjoy your stay there with your daughter and have a real fun time!!
Happy 4th, love your post this morning and the pictures are beautiful….Thanks for the update on the rain, I plan on going one day the I have curly hair, lol
Happy 4th Tania!!! So glad you and Joe arrived safely and happy for y’all getting to spend time with your daughter. Looking forward to more pics. ~Lisa~
Oh my goodness your daughter has quite the view from her balcony! I’d love to be on one of those cruise ships! Looking forward to seeing more pictures of Alaska! Enjoy!!!!
Hope you have a wonderful time! I’m especially interested in this post as my husband and I will be visiting Seattle and taking an Alaskan cruise in August. Love your outfit, may have to carry my boots. I’m really looking forward to cooler weather!
I loved Alaska! I was there several years ago in the summer. Its just beautiful.
Ha, I believe one of those ships behind you is the one we’re on now as we were in Juneau yesterday (Skagway today)! It’s beautiful here but I could never handle the dreary weather. Enjoy your visit!
