Our Trip to Alaska




This is a picture of jason and myself with his parents, Les and Carrie, in front of the Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, Alaska. We were just getting ready to go on a nature hike through a beautiful rainforest and along the sea coast.




This is another glacier we were able to see on our cruise ship in Glacier Bay, headed back toward Whittier, AK. This pictures really doesn't do it justice. IT was a little foggy and cold the afternoon I took this shot. 56 degrees, with a nice brisk wind! Burrr... but worth it for the amazing views.


This is just a random picture of the early evening sun while on the ship. Everywhere you turned, you found something amazing to look at.


This picture was taken on a tramway in Juneau. We were quite high up on top of this mountain looking down at the bay. There was a great shop, restaurant, and several trails to hike on once you got up there.

This was one of the coolest things, I thought. It's just a little light house out in the middle of nowhere. I thought it was beautiful. Not sure I'd like to live there, although, it would be nice to stay for a day or two. IT is no longer in use, but I still think it's very charming.
