Day 3...Hoonah, Alaska

 

Such a fun stop!! 

 We hadn't planned a specific tour to do on this day but headed into the 

little city to see what our options were. We quickly figured out that Whale Watching would 

be first on our list. We found a little restaurant that was also an outfitting company. 

 We set up our trip and while we waited for the time to come...we rented ATV's and 

explored the area. The only advice the attendant gave us was that we 

shouldn't bother the bears. The populations of humans is 3,000 in that town and the 

population of Brown Bear was 14,000. 

 He suggested we be careful and stay on the roads.

Off we went...

 

Day 2....Seward, Alaska

 

We arrived in Seward, Alaska mid morning. 

 Again, the scenery was just beautiful and the weather cool but not cold. 

 We wandered the streets and had our first taste of Alaskan Fish and Chips...

with freshly caught Halibut...DELICIOUS!! 

The town was filled with darling artisan shops and wonderful food. 

The perfect beginning to our Alaskan adventure...

 

Day 1, Alaskan Adventure...Train Ride To Seward, Alaska...

 

Day 1 of the Alaskan Adventure... 

We arrived at the hotel in Anchorage around 2:00 am. Everyone exhausted, 

but happy with the cool temperatures. Uncle Nate and Aunt Jen had arrived earlier in the day. 

We slept for just a couple of hours then boarded a passenger 

train to Seward, Alaska. We were all so tired, 

but excited for the adventure that was ahead of us.

   

 The scenery was breathtaking! 

 We soaked it all up! The landscape...the wildlife...the streams...the glaciers... 

It was all beyond amazing!

 

We had a great time together! 

 The train ride was 4 hours long...worth every minute! 

They served a fun breakfast along with great commentary along the way,  

Teaching us about Alaska. We had time to visit...

sleep...eat...take pictures and tease each other.

 It was a great time!!
