Washington/Alaskan Cruise, Part 13

Cruise Day 2 - At Sea

Our first full day at sea and waiting to play bingo. I will most likely say this many, many times in my lifetime but spinning in public is a great way to meet people! Here I am responding to, “Excuse me, may I ask what you’re doing?” 😊

After bingo (and no, we didn’t win 😞) and looking out over the back of the ship.

Cruise Day 1 - Seattle, Washington

Today we board ship for our Alaskan Cruise!
We had a couple of hours to spare before going to the cruise ship terminal. So, what could I do? Spend the time spinning! 😉

And finally, on the ship and sailing away from Seattle, Washington!!

Seattle, Washington

Heading to Seattle, the last stop before our Alaskan Cruise!

We took advantage of the extra day before we needed to board our ship to explore a little bit of Seattle.

Part of our motley group for the Alaskan Cruise 😍

Washington/Alaskan Cruise, Part 9

Idaho and Washington State

Cracker Barrell
Smelterville, Idaho

Every now and then, we stay overnight in the RV parking in a Cracker Barrel parking lot. The advantage to this is that I don’t have to make breakfast the next morning! 😁
But do you know what’s even better? Having breakfast with a fellow fiber artist and then spinning in the parking lot afterwards!

More mountains!

The Columbia River

The Coulee Dam

Omak, Washington

Breakfast with a fiber friend is a great way to start the day and it’s even better when you can end the day with another fiber friend!
Back in 2012, at my second SOAR, I took a class with Stefenie Gaustad on Spinning for Historical Replication and Reenactment. In that class, I met another Terri (it’s unusual for there to be two Terris in the room and even more unusual for us to both spell our names the same way).
Since we both Terri with an “i”, she became “Terri of the Sheep”, and I was
“Terri of the Shawl.” I think this photo explains why! 😉
