A Cruising Great Grandma

The matriarch of the Johnson clan is headed up North today! Our family vacations were always "up North". Only then it meant packing up the Buick with some food and the family and driving to a lake north of the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul). We would spend the week in a cabin and either fish in a rowboat or swim in the lake. It was fun but not spectacular.
Now Grandma is going for SPECTACULAR! She just turned 90, so I guess it's about time that she REALLY head UP NORTH...NORTH TO ALASKA! She will be travelling with my sister and her husaband who just turned 65! Juno, Alaska seems like a great place to celebrate two milestone birthdays!And especially when you are traveling in style on a huge cruise ship named Celebrity!
My advice to the travelers, "Keep warm, put your feet up, get out the binoculars, enjoy the fantastic views and just RELAX!"
And my prayer is "Please give our loved ones traveling mercies as they head up North and bring them back soon. Amen."
