  • TBT: Embracing the rain: A day in Juneau.

    For this week’s Throwback Thursday, we’re heading back to September of last year, when Mike and I embarked on a seven-night Alaskan cruise.

    One of my favorite moments from the whole trip happened in Juneau — ironically, the one day the weather decided to be fully Alaskan about it: wet, cold, and gloriously moody.

    We had come prepared for exactly this, so when it arrived, it almost felt like a welcome guest. Our spirits stayed high despite the gloomy skies and steady drizzle, because we had made a deal with ourselves before we ever set foot on that ship — bad weather was going to happen, and it wasn’t going to steal our smiles.

    And it didn’t.

    Even with the chill in the air, my heart was warm and ready for whatever came next.
