Ziplining in Juneau




White Pass Railroad in Skagway

We saw some whales and seals while we were sitting here. I wish we would have been closer, but it was still cool.








Butchart Gardens.

The cruise was great! Nate and I had such a good time together. The weather and scenery were so beautiful. We were so lucky that the weather was in the 70's and 80's at each port which is pretty rare for those parts of AK. We had 4 days at sea and 3 days at port. Our first stop was in Juneau. We went on a zipline tour and it was awesome. We were 50-180 feet off the ground zipping between trees at up to 35 mph. It was pretty thrilling. We also saw the Mendenhall glacier too. That was the one place that I actually remember being at when I was a kid. The next stop was Skagway. We went on a narrow gauge railway up a mountain pass that had spectacular views. We got off and kayaked in a lake at the top of the pass. It was a great day! The third day was in Victoria, B.C. Victoria is such a pretty city. We did some sightseeing around town, found our way to the beach and took a tour to Butchart Gardens. The garden was beautiful, but if you ask Nate, not worth the money. I liked it though:) I was a little worried before we left that we would get bored with 4 days at sea, but there was so much to do that we rarely just sat and read a book. We took a couple dancing lessons(we can kinda cha cha), went swimming, climbed the rock wall, went to a show every night and ate A LOT! I'm so glad that we were able to have this time together! Oh, and Alyssa did great with our parents and was not scarred for life because we left her. Thank you so much Nana, Mimi, Grammi and Poppop!!!
