Alaska, day 7

Day 7 of our cruise brought us in to College Fjord. There are lots of glaciers here, so it was a wonderful day for sitting on the balcony in our room and just relaxing. Of course, we had to run up to the main deck a few times to get some better pics.
We didn't get to the glaciers in College Fjord until early in the afternoon, so we spent the morning playing trivia games (like we've done all week and we didn't win a single game...until that day). We finally won a trivia game, you did indeed read that right. We won the Mad Gab game, which was right up our alley since we play that at family fun night at LEAST once a month :) It almost qualified us as cheaters. I like to think of us as seasoned pros. And for all of our efforts, what did we win?! Princess Cruises hats. Oh well, at least it wasn't a pat on the back and an "Atta boy".
After some cruising, we finally made it to the glaciers. All the glaciers in College Fjord were named for the founding people of the some of the major ivy league universities...
The Bryn Mahr Glacier
The Smith Glacier
The Vassar Glacier
The Wellsley Glacier
The Yale Glacier
And the Harvard Glacier, which was the biggest one of them all.
The Harvard Glacier again.

And of course, after we left College Fjord, we had to take that opportunity to take some cheesey pictures. You KNEW that was coming!
Look out Captain Ahab, here comes Captain Mady. Ahoy ye mateys!
Playing with the buttons in the elevator
Playing on the balcony again...forget toys, just buy this girl a stepEventually, Mady asked me to pick her up so she could see where she was steering the ship, lol
Having our last drinks on the ship
All in all, this was one of the most relaxing days on the ship...except for the re-packing all your stuff part that we had to do right after we had those wonderful drinks at the bar.
Stay tuned for our last day of Stiffie antics tomorrow :)
