Juneau

the capital of Alaska?

an oldie but a goodie, I couldn't resist.
After being on the rocky ship we were all happy to be on steady ground again.

We spent the day at Mendenhall Glacier, hiking and doing a little shopping.

Looking for bears at the glacier.
No luck.....today.






Everyone could make the trip except for Travis and Karla
they just had a baby...we missed you both.



Bentley, Andre', where Travis should be, Regan, Caleb, Chalan

Hiking up by the glacier. It was so green and lush.
Beautiful!



Stopped for a picture by A.J falls

Juneau was really neat

my only complaint is that we didn't have enough time here.....

we had a boat to catch.
MORE PICS to come!!

AT SEA

This day was a doozy. The ship was rockin' like crazy.

Most everyone in our group was sick and out of commission.

Good ol' Dad was taking care of the sickies....glad I wasn't one of them.

sorry guys!!!

Hangin out on the top deck getting some fresh air and a beautiful view.

playing ping pong on a very rocky ship is way fun and way hard!!!!
