Birthday Alert! We are on our way home from our Alaskan cruise and it’s Alec’s birthday! Funny story about him! He didn’t know he was going to Alaska until his support staff came to pick him up two hours before they left for the trip!!! Here are Alec and Ernie enjoying the view from the ship!

Let’s wish him a happy birthday!!!

Today the sun was shining so a group of us went to sit on the top open deck and soak up some sun, and an Eagle flew over us many times and probably wasn’t more than 20 feet above our heads! We will share another short video of the Eagle in the comments!

We know it’s not travel related, but it is worth posting! The annual Brat Fest in Madison has turned into a drive through today due to rain! While picking our brats up, we saw our travelers Matt and Jill out there volunteering in the rain to raise money for West Madison Special Olympics! We are proud of them!
If you’re in the area stop by and support all the great charities! Drive through is running and they moved the bands to inside the building!

Today, we celebrate the superheroes without capes—MOMS! At Able Trek, we are SO LUCKY to have so many moms as part of our traveling team. By nature, these women have nurturing hearts, are giving, always offering to help, and they have a great sense of humor which is vital when a group spends as many hours on the road as Able Trek does! Every special needs trip we go on is made better because of the moms that volunteer with us! We cherish your contributions and can't imagine traveling without you all! Thank you for what you give to our travelers!
