Here is grandnephew Alex (3.5 yrs old) and grandniece Ruby (2 yrs old), they are cousins, grandkids of sis Shirley. In the back is nephew Alex.

I sort of skipped a blog, so am going backwards in time while I have time on the train. I was in Vancouver for a week, before going on the cruise to Alaska. From Vancouver rode the scooter to Seattle to visit family. That is about a 120 mi ride. There spent time with nephews Jerel and Alex, sons of sis Shirley in Atlanta Georgia. But the most fun was that I got to play with grand nephew Alex (aka AJ), and grand nieces Ruby and Lily. Lily is at the right (~10 mo old). Ruby and Lily are Jerel’s daughters, and AJ is Alex’s son.

On the left is Jerel, and on the right is Alex. Alex is moving back to Georgia with AJ, and should be on his way there.

After returning from Seattle, I went to Vancouver Island to hangout with bro Gerardus and sis Dorothy. Below on the left is Gerardus (aka John) with wife Rose, and Dorothy with husband Terry.

From Vancouver Canada took a ferry to Vancouver Island to catch-up with John and Dorothy . Then I rode the scooter to Victoria (~110 mi) , and there had dinner with long time friends Peter and Judith. Regretfully did not to get spend more time with Peter and Judith, they sure are fun like the rest of my bike buddies, and of course Victoria is a great city to spend time there, next time.

Next blog will switch back to Alaska, possibly tomorrow. Tonight when we get to Denali National Park will be off to do an ATV (All Terrain Vehicle) excursion. Since it does not get dark till after 11:00 pm, will probably go out around 6:00 pm and for about 3 hours.
