We made it to Pisa finally and met up with my sister and her husband. We walked over to the Leaning Tower and toured the Baptiste and the surrounding area. You can't appreciate the architecture until you're there. It was really neat to walk around such old structures. Of course, we did the obligatory picture of me holding up the tower.
The reason for this vacation is to celebrate our 20 years together. I hired an adventure photographer before we left to take some pictures of us because we haven't had professional pictures made since our wedding. I just wanted to have fun and I didn't want it to be a traditional vow renewal. So Curtis and I made a list of promises on the things that we might improve upon in our relationship. For example, Curtis promised to finish home improvement projects in a year. I promised to try to clean up my computer files and not leave my hair bands all over the house. We probably should have thought about our promises more because Curtis has already asked John for a few addendums. Our friends, Trish and John, came to help us with our vow renewal. We really appreciated them flying all the way to Glacier to help us celebrate. Those are the kind of friends you keep for life. Trish made John read a wonderful verse from Proverbs at the end...to make it ...
We got into Juneau after traveling through the Inside Passage. It was a little drizzly out when we docked and got off the ship. The first thing we did was ride the Tram to the top of the mountain. Curtis, being a little afraid of heights, was really not looking forward to it. But he was a trooper and agreed to go with us. Trish and Curtis are both not very fond of heights. So John and I had to take the pictures. Curtis did say that his patch was really helping him and it didn't bother him as badly as it usually does. At the top off of the lookout deck! They rescued this eagle who had gotten one of his eyes shot. We walked a trail behind the nature center. I'll just post pictures and let you enjoy the scenery that we were blessed to enjoy! John and Curtis humored me by smil...
Beautiful!!
