Well, my intention was to post right after we got back from Alaska... We can all see that that didn't happen. So sorry about that. Life got really crazy!
Let me give you a quick recap on Alaska. It was fantastic!! My favorite part was going whale watching in Juneau. Just a heads up, the excursions are really expensive. We saw several Humpback whales, a few Sea Lions and a Bald Eagle. Did you know that you can not drive to Juneau? Well you can't, so don't try. The big thing in town this past summer was that they extended the road by a few miles and put in a new end of road sign. People took their families out for a picnic at the new end of road sign.
Skagway was a cool train town. We did two fun hikes and went around to all the little shops.
Glacier Bay was the most stunning of all of the places we went to. We did not get off the boat, but they did cruise up really close to a few glaciers. We were so close to one of them we could hear it grown as it moved! Some bits and pieces broke off while we were watching it, but nothing really big.
Ketchikan was a fun stop. We did a self-guided tour, which took us all around the old part of town. Fun fact: some roads in Ketchikan you can't drive on because they are stair cases. We also visited a totem park and that was beautiful and educational at the same time.
Victoria was our last stop. We had never been to Victoria, and we were blown away by how beautiful it is. We toured a castle and walked along the water. The sunset was beautiful.
We had a great time and enjoyed our first experience on a cruise ship. This trip was to celebrate our 5th anniversary. It is so hard for me to believe that we have been married for 5 years! We have had so many grand adventures and we look forward to many more.
Jordan post coming soon ...
