Alaska Adventures
We had a grand adventure exploring the Inside Passage of Alaska. We stopped at the Tracy Arm Fjord, Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan, and Victoria. Skagway was a full day of the train ride, gold mining, and shopping in the town. We saw humpback whales, bald eagles, and harbor seals on the wildlife boating excursion in Juneau, as well as visited the Mendehall glacier. What a nice town to explore in as we wondered around Ketchikan. In Victoria, we took an evening stroll through this beautiful garden city. Todd and I discovered the magnificent Alaskan traits. I also enjoy spending every moment together with Todd. These pictures are a taste tester of our fun times. Above is one of the largest polar bears they have found. This is one of the few bears we saw, so we will just have to go back one day.
Mendenhall Glacier National Park---a wonderful glacier as well as a waterfall right next to it
In Ketchikan, we wondered around and found a beautiful walkway. Here is a view of our ship.
We enjoyed finding some fun street signs. Above, is Todd's road now. Below is Alaska Street found in Skagway.
Todd was most excited to pan for gold. We ended up walking away with $26 worth of gold! See the shiny gold found in our pans.
The train ride through the White Pass was based off of a trail that gold miners used to head to Dawson City for the Klondike Gold Rush.
We rode the entire time out on the train landing, getting the freshest air and best view speeding through the mountains.
We got onto the cruise ship in Seattle.
We enjoyed our fantastic dinners eating with a couple from Louisiana. They lived in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina and we heard about their experience during it---came back to a two story home filled with mud.
Victoria located in British Columbia was lovely. We strolled along the city, enjoying the gardens, and the night lights outlining the beautiful buildings.
My favorite part was the wildlife boating trip in Juneau. We saw Humpback whales, harbor seals, and bald eagles. I, (the camera-less person as Todd was taking care of that) was know for saying, "Get it, get it, get it" as I excitedly saw the eagle perfectly soar over us, as everyone else was taking pictures of the whales. So the picture below was one of the combined Alaskan wildlife pictures we got of the whale and eagle.
