Victoria Our Last Stop!!

We didn't arrive in Victoria until 6 at night so we didn't get off as it was 1 1/2 miles to town and it was getting dark.

We did see some hang gliders - and a little scenery. It was such a wonderful trip and we were so spoiled, we just loved it!!!

Day 6: Ketchikan

One of the ways to see the town! We walked, it was raining and there wasn't a lot to see. It's strange that anyone ever built here as it seems there's the water and the land goes straight up into mountains almost. Some of the people had 50 or 60 stairs to go up to their homes from the street below.

Lots of fish were coming up Ketchikan Creek to spawn and I happened to catch this one jumping. Dead fish were everywhere and it smelled like it!!!

This is Creek Street, it used to be the red light district but is all shopping now.

One of the cute animals left on our beds by the night time bed turndown person!!!

A few more from Sitka

A view of our ship from the park.

One of the beautiful churches there.

Another view of the town.

That night was Chef's Night and we had to wear these hats!!! The food was great!!!

Day 5: Sitka

We saw many, many totem poles here - the Sitka State Park is loaded with them, it's a great little town. We had a wonderful 4 1/2 hour walk through the park and the town. I think this was my favorite place to see. It was where the Russians settled, the mustard colored house is where the Russian Bishop lived, it was built in about 1840. This city has quite a history. And the sun came out while we were there, which made it great for our walk.

Day 4: Hubbard Glacier

The blues are so beautiful, it's really hard to capture.

Hubbard Glacier is 350 feet tall and 7 miles wide.

We were very blessed that the fog lifted at the time we were here, we had been unable to see anything for miles because of fog.

Icebergs were nothing like what I would have pictured - I don't know what I expected but blue was not it!!

Day 3: Juneau and Mendenhall Glacier

As you can see our weather changed dramatically from Seattle!! This was our first glimpse of Juneau.

Downtown Juneau, a busy city when 4 ships are in at the same time. Every other store is a jewelry store!!

The Famous Red Dog Saloon, which we didn't bother visiting but many, many did.

This is Mendenhall Glacier which we loved, the colors were more blue since it was cloudy (and rainy). So they told us!!

Alaska With My Sisters: Day 1 and 2

We had such a great time together, we left Seattle and spent Sunday at sea. Sunday night was our first formal night. Some people asked it we were triplets!!

Happy 74th!!!

Happy 74th, just wanted to show the happy celebration. Dad got his favorite carrot cake and we all helped him but we needed more to help us finish it!!! We have too much left over.
