This year's anniversary trip was American Cruise Lines National Parks and Legendary River Cruise. We started in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. National Parks were: The Grand Tetons, Yellowstone and Glacier. After a week on the road, it was onto the cruise ship for a leisurely cruise down the Snake and Columbia Rivers following Lewis and Clark. I was amazed at how wide the rivers were. Sometimes up to a mile wide.
The motor coach had us on the move everyday. The hotels/lodges were very nice and the food exceptional. The cruise was on a small boat (180 people I believe). Had a culinary demo from the Pastry Chef on New Orleans Pralines!The motor coach had water bottle holders on the back of the seats. They made a nice holder for my pattern and tatting accessories. The cruise had a couple of cruise days, so while hubby took a nap, I pulled out my tatting.
I brought plenty of left over scrap threads for making butterflies and a shuttle wound with beads/thread for angels. Both Adventure Guides and bus driver received angels. They all did a great job with keeping us safe and entertained. Butterflies were given to anyone who stopped by to ask what I was doing.
