A Week in Alaska

We had a great week in Alaska. And although we took pictures, they do no justice to the beauty of the place. The cruise ship took us through the Inside Passage: Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway. 

We fished in Ketchikan and caught some Rock Fish.


It was the only rainy location on our trip, but still beautiful. At this point I developed some norovirus symptoms.


In Juneau, we visited the Mendenhall Glacier and bought some skeins of yarn. I couldn't do much of anything, so I decided to knit.


After docking in Skagway, we rented a car to see the sights. Driving to the Yukon, we saw some incredible view.


The water and mountains were stunning.


Stopped at Emerald Lake. I can only imagine how this looks in the winter.


A cinnamon bear crossed right in front of us as we were parked. I whimpered a bit to Paul to back up the car. In town, we found a great quilt shop called Quilt Alaska and bought lots of Alaskan batiks. What a great trip!
