First stop was Ketchikan…
Barry and Camille. Below Camille, Mom, Dianne and Linda
Bears, Totem Polls, Waterfalls, lots of eagles and salmon in the river’s. This town was fun to explore and the weather was warm and beautiful. Next day the cruise ship wound through the Tracy Arm towards this huge Glacier that you can see in the photo’s below. 
The Glacier ahead. This was a beautiful sight! We we were there early in the morning and there was a lot of ice in the water from the Glacier some chunks were five stories high and that was just what you could see above water.
Next stop was the capitol of Alaska, Juneau. We took a bus tour out to this Mendenhall Glacier it was an amazing sight to see. We even saw a real black bear this time by a river. Below is a the Glacier and next pic is a huge glacier waterfall one can hike out to.
Today we went to Skagway. It was the cutest tourist town with board walk streets and where most stores are only open during the summer for the cruise ships. We went to a museum and learned about the Klondike Gold Rush then rode this cool old rail train that went on a 3 1/2 hour adventure up the mountain to White Pass and followed part of the trail of the Gold Rush. The train ride was scenic and little scary sometimes but our favorite adventure in Alaska.
Mom and Dad boarding the big ol’ ship after our train ride. We had beautiful weather everywhere we went on this cruise and below are pictures of our last formal dinner there. The food was so good and we got spoiled real bad being waited on and NO dishes to wash! 
Last stop was in Victoria Canada. We only had 4 hours here but WOW what a beautiful city. Best thing was we took the double decker bus tour around the city and bought some sweet Canadian Oreo cookies to bring home for the kids. Below is the famous Empress Hotel.
Back home again on Sunday morning. So sad to say good-bye to everyone though.
