June 13, 2019 – Sea Day JY’s Birthday

Folks advised me to have an extra special day on my birthday. This was a challenge since the whole summer has been extra special. The cruise in particular, especially the helicopter ride to the top of the Mendenhall Glacier and the dog sled ride. However, I did endeavor to do activities I usually don’t do, such as:  1 ) Sleeping in until 10:00 am – what a treat,  2) a bubble bath and photo to prove it,

3) Peter and I having a drink in the Ocean View lounge (which made me sleepy by dinner time),  4) dinner with my loving husband and our new friends from Australia, Jeff and Jackie,  

5) Jackie gifting me with a pretty pair of earrings as she noticed I like jewelry (imagine that),  6) the waiters in the dining room sang Happy Birthday to me in Indonesian,  

7) our head table waiter, Dia, as promised, brought his guitar and serenaded me with a song,  8) and of course a (tiny) birthday cake.  What a unique birthday celebration!  Who could ask for anything more.†
