Okay, I did a bit of research:

-Alaska cruise: Since June is not good for most people, perhaps the earliest we could go would be July. There is a Royal Caribbean leaving from Seattle July 10 - 17, but from the article Aunt Heidi posted, it looks like Royal Caribbean only takes 3 year-olds and older for child care (problematic for Rhett, Gavin, Michael, Burk... Travis, too? How old is Sasha?). This cruise is $849 for interior rooms, $1199 for oceanview... (I think that's expensive, but I'm on a path of continual education and won't see a paycheck for myself from a real job for several years...). So, this might be a good option (close to June 21, per Ryan's recommendation, and a good time of year for most people, nice length of a trip, and a good location), but we need to have a frank discussion of finances before we pick a trip.

-For Travis: most 7-day Mexican cruises leaving from the west coast are Cabo, Matzatlan, Vallarta. Carnival does have a Ensanada route on a 4-day option, but I'm hearing that some folks would rather stay away from Carnival. Norwegian's Mexico cruises don't start until September, which won't work for most people.

-My final plug for Tahoe (hear me out): People, it's only $4000ish for a nice lodge for a week. Let's hire a nanny for the week to be with the kids! I'm sure one of you parents has a babysitter that you love from home that we can all chip in and pay for them to come for the week. And, for the "blood bath" issue - we can either stay in our own timeshares or I found an option of 2 houses on a cul-de-sac (each with 5-6 bedrooms) so that we can have our own space, 2 kitchens, and not all be under the same roof. Seriously, the Alaskan cruise is over $1000 per person by the time you add airfare to Seattle. Let's drive to Tahoe, hire a babysitter for the week, cater a few of the meals, and we'll still come out saving money (You hear me, right? I know I get my drive to save money from somewhere and I'm pretty sure it's from the Glauser side!). We can fish, hike, boat, swim, shop, horseback ride, ATV, Uncle Gary can bring the bikes - we can all do our own thing. There's something for Grandpa all the way down to the little kids. Two other important things: 1) If you can't stay 7 days, you don't have to. With a cruise, you're locked in for the whole time - you're 100% in or out. If work schedules only allow you to come for 3 days to Tahoe, you can still come. 2) We're close by medical attention. Grandma's situation has shown how important it is to be close by help. I don't know what happens on a cruise, if they're able to get a helicopter over to the ship and quickly transport you to a hospital, but I just think there are benefits to a land-based vacation that we should probably think about. Thanks for reading! That's all you'll hear about it from me. If the family chooses something else, you'll have my support.

Thanks!
