Day Three
Adventure Karts in Ketchikan, Alaska...
I rode for about 20 minutes and then opted to go and wait back at camp and hang with the locals since I didn't want to be a baby on the karts anymore. I had done these same Karts in Hawaii however I drove in a kart with April and watched as Josh tipped his Kart over in front of us. So this time after whining to him about going too fast even though we were way behind the group, I chose to go back to camp and wait instead of yelling at my hubby...
They had fun ;)
Somewhere out at Sea...Funny thing is that everyday our Captain would come on the P.A. and let us know what latitude and longitude we were at...In case we wondering where we were...The comedian even made a joke about the captain and how he could've told us we were in Omaha while laughing at us...
Josh says I made a new Egyptian friend lol ;)
Ready for Dinner...
Day Four
Tracy Arm Fjords and Juneau, Alaska
Early morning we cruised through the Tracy Arm Fjord and there were icebergs everywhere...We had breakfast brought to pril and Eric's suite and we ate on the balcony while we cruised through the Fjord. Video at the end...
It of course reminded me of how cold Jack and Rose probly were ;)
Juneau, Alaska
In Juneau our ship docked early so we went into town for a bit before our excursion started. There were some shops that we went in and I wanted to find some things for the family back home ;)
Josh in a Russian Hat at one of the local stores...Did you know the U.S. bought Alaska from Russia for $7.2 million ;) They had a lot of Russian things for sale there...like lots of Russian Nesting Dolls...
Had to have a picture of a Totem Pole...I got the boys mini statues of Totem Poles here and an Ornament Cruise Ship for our Christmas Tree that has Alaska Cruise on it. Lexi got a charm bracelet with a charm I collected from each stop at a certain store at each stop. It was like a scavengar hunt that me and April were on ;)
Back at the Port waiting for our Tour to start...You can see the other side of Juneau across the water. They had a bridge you could drive to get to the other side...
Juneau was 79 degrees that day...Just BEAUTIFUL
Here is the Mendenhall Glacier. It looked nothing like I pictured it ;) not bad but just different...
Really Huge Waterfall
I made Josh taste the water with me...It was way yummy!
Video at the end of the Post...
We spotted a Porcupine on the trail back to the Ship... Side Note: Our Tour Guide told us we had one hour to explore on our own at the Glacier Visitor Center...Me and Josh chose to hike all the way down to the Glacier and Waterfall but we had to be fast so we could get back in time...we got back and we were loading onto the bus and some guy didn't make it back in time and we left without him! Lol! These Tours don't mess around!
Salmon Bake Was Yummy
After we ate we walked this little trail and found another waterfall...It was beautiful ;)
...and we found an old Mine from the Klondike Gold Rush
Ready for Dessert after a long Day in Juneau...
Love to see all the other cruise ships at the different ports of call...This ship will be home to one of my SIL's sister in two weeks!
What a beautiful day in Juneau
