The End!!
You can see in the left middle of the photo there is a huge chunk that was there last time is missing now. They had a big calving and we missed that one.
We got to see a seal out on the ice burg as we cruised out of the channel. It was fun as we had not seen a lot of animals on this trip. That was as close as TA's old camera could get. Another glacier, and it was rainy today so our photos were taken out the window while we were in our favorite spot. There were so many glaciers to take photos of as we went down the bay. None were as big as Glacier Bay's main one, but it was still fun to see them. Saying good bye to Glacier Bay Alaska, now on to the inside passage, Emi will be so happy when we get back to calmer water. I am glad I did not get sick. I had too much to do. To Be Continued!!

Happy July 4th, 2008!! |
We were so happy to be there today and share a beautiful day watching the glacier and celebrating the 4th. We found out how the ships show the glacier, it turns in a circle just like a mary-go-round style. It was crazy amazing. The mountains were beautiful and rugged. TA had forgotten how much she missed living in Alaska until we saw these. We were so excited to see a tail and TA caught it on the camera. AMAZING!! | Kityee and Katyee loved the sparklers, they had fun matching outfits that Nana made. It was neat to see the pieces that fall off the glacier. The stripes where the dirt had gotten on the glacier, and then covered. They did not come up for a big show, but we had some killer whales blowing their tops. |

If you ever have the opportunity to go to Skagway, Alaska do it. What an amazing town and the show they put on for tourists is wow. The snowblower was so kewl and so big. It was amazing to think of it driving across the pass kicking the snow our all over. They have lots of snow in the winter and need this train. White Pass is famous, and we found the old train set there. It was so KEWL!! Then one of the people saw us and told us of an old train so we went to see that later. | First thing you see when you get into town is the train depot. It has the passenger cars and caboose. We had so much fun with these. We have a couple photos of the workers train cars too. It was fun to have a look at the way it was done. Now days in our area they have normal pickup trucks with an extra set of wheels. It looks funny to see a pickup driving down the train tracks. It was exciting to see the trains, we do not have trains very often in our area and then they are only cargo trains. |
Next we walked into the town of Skagway. The buildings were amazing and it was like stepping back into time. The town was decorated up and festive. To be there was amazing. The photo with the big spiral is the museum, we will share it later too. There were so many neat places to see. It was fun to see the Wells Fargo bank, it has been around for a long time and we still use it to this day as our bank. There old time decorations got me good. It looks like something out of a western movie. The building is an old Arctic Brotherhood Camp No. 1 .. Interesting, but really awesome building. | It was amazing to see the beautiful area. It was almost the 4th of July. We just walked along and shopped in the little shops along the way. The red building is the 'Madam's Place' they had special live tours of it and went back in time. We did not go in. They were doing a great job of fixing up the town for all the cruise tourists. These are the amazing buildings that we were so glad that we took this trip and spent time in town. Oh to do it again. |
It kept it open for most of the winter. It is a lot different than that great big snow blower that we saw in town. We had fun climbing around and inspecting the engine. It was amazing. We had such a good day, it was magical. We would love to go back and explore some more. | This was the old way of pushing the snow out of the way for the trains. It did not always do a good job as they get so much snow. It would be awesome if they could fix it up and have it out to show. We wanted a photo with the snowplow since we had one with the snowblower on the big engine. Katyee lay down in front of the train. Kityee jumped down to rescue her sister. It was fun to look at the train. |

We got up early that morning, we were going to take a trolly bus tour around Juneau. We thought it would be fun to really see the area. You cannot see it well but it is special to TA and me. The Westerdam that we cruised first on and the Volendam that we were on this time in port together. We had our ice tea from the trip and sat for a little rest as we were making out some post cards. We went to City Hall so that we can say that we were in Juneau, by ship. Then we had to take photos of a lot of streets there. Here is another street in Juneau. They have some cars brought on big ships, but a lot of the streets are still these little pathways with homes on it. | TA and I were so excited, the Westerdam was in port. That was the ship we took on our first cruise. It was in port. TA and I had fun that morning going on our tour, we stopped for photos on the bear and a moose. I love moose they are so beautiful in their ugly way. So majestic. It was a good walk around town when we got off the trolly. TA's aunt and uncle are Deckers so she got a photo of Decker Way. There was still snow on the mountain above us. It surprised me, this far down the coast I did not realize would still have snow. When TA lived in Alaska she only had some snow. |
When we got back to the ship at the end of Juneau we got into our swimsuits and grabbed our bags with our towels and accessories and headed to the pool area. We were enjoying the weather which was warm and restful. They had the top of the ship pulled back and the sky above us. No no, you do not want to make that move, there is a better move over there. What are you doing? We started again and Emi wanted to watch. We told her that she had to be quiet. No chattering. Kityee had snuck around the other side of us and started shooting water from her side. Emi tried to push another piece in front of Emily because Katyee was sneaking up to spray her, Emily turned around with her hands up laughing. Emily was moving on one, but forgot that Kityee was behind and so she got squirted. When I scared Kityee off her horse, we were called over to go get ready and go to dinner. | We got up there and had a seat, we only had four chairs to bring with us so Marsali sat on the floor, we all took turns. Emily and I decided to play chess, we started the game and Emi ran out and dropped down on her back. We told Emi that neither of us knew how to play chess and we were doing it as checkers rather than chess. All of a sudden Emi twisted around with a sound of surprise. She got sprayed with water. It was Katyee, she had the squirt gun and was shooting. Emily pulled a bunch of pieces around her so she was blocked from all sides. It was the only way to be safe with water coming from both sides. I was hiding out behind the biggest pieces that I could find. I love a good water fight, but I had no squirt gun to fight back. Kityee climbed up on the horse head to have a better view to spray people. But I was sneaking up behind her. |
