! Today's adventure was the Vandusen Botanical Garden. Dane got us through the maze. We saw a lot of birds, butterflies, and dragonflies. In addition to ducks, fish, and a coyote. After the gardens we checked out a few anime shops and then headed to our hotel to relax before our travel home tomorrow.
Today was a day at Sea. We started the day with a presentation about Global Warming and how it is impacting Alaska. There was a really good group discussion that followed. Then in the afternoon Steve put on a great show for us and talked about the connections and experiences we made and reminded us about how important it is to bring that back to our kids. It was another #bestdayever We went to dinner in the dining room and caught a few more photos A huge shout out to the whole team for making this an amazing professional development opportunity. Including all of the dinner time magic tricks. Then... after dinner, we sat on our balcony and watched a pod of orca hunting near the shore. They were too far away for good photos, but we were excited to see them! Tomorrow we start the land portion of our vacation in Vancouver!

We started our morning in Dubuque and quickly made our way to Madison. We found a Geology Museum at the University there that we had never been to. Although it was a smaller museum, it had quite a few specimens of interest. After our short stop in Madison, we made our way to Appleton. We had planned on quite a bit of shopping, but the rain and the crazy amount of traffic changed our minds. We stopped at a few places and then we were back on the road. Of course, we made a quick stop in Marinette to say a quick hi to Bigfoot and stock up on some cheese. Last night, I ordered the photos for our 4 new states this trip so that they would be ready to pick up from Walgreens when we rolled into town :). 41 states down, 9 more to go! Another Spring Break Trip on the Books--- Any guesses on where our n...
