capitols of Alaska

Juneau, the capitol of Alaska

We were super excited for the whale watching we would do in Juneau! Then this was all we saw. I know they are called humpback whales, but I kinda thought we would get more than that.

 We also saw eagles, goats, & seals. Seals are kinda jerky though.

FYI, we had the BEST Alaskan king crab in Juneau...I'm sure you were all wondering if they really were tasty there.

Ketchikan, the salmon capitol of the world

 We went to the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show and it was awesome! I think Scott could be a lumberjack.

 Totems are cool. That is all.

So we went to a cute little souvenir shop on this riverwalk and the clerk was complaining to a friend about tourist ruining their town...ummmm here's a hint, you should be in a different line of work and maybe stop being a jerk face when people come that will spend money in your shop. Needless to say, we just walked out. Besides that one shop owner the town was super cute!

Ps- Alaskans aren't all mountain men. They can also be hip...like a boss!

Skagway
This was the cutest little town with a population of about 200. Apparently the graduating class only had 4 kids. 3 boys and 1 girl. So I guess it's safe to say that she was prom queen...do you even have a prom for 4 kids?? I love small towns, but I don't know if I could handle a place that was so secluded and all your products came in by boat making it 10 times more expensive.
It had some great hiking though and was super quaint all the same.

 For some reason the driver wouldn't let us off the shuttle to take a better pic of the bear...I know weird!

 

 

 We went to a cancan show! They even called me up on stage to do the high kick with them. I'm pretty much a professional now.

 So there was this out house in the middle of the mountain on my hike just as I was super needing the bathroom (for not number 1)!

Fate?? I'm not sure, but Alaskans sure know what their doing by having these on the trail and I thank them for that!

i'm on a boat!

Part 1

Leaving Seattle

 

 I got my first bee sting shortly after this pic above...on my freaking face!! Let me tell you that is some serious pain! Like volcanoes erupting inside my head and blinding me with it's white hot lava. Not fun.

  

It is not easy to get into these hammocks...fyi.

 We celebrated our anniversary on the ship!

Happy 2 years!!!

 Look, I won a dollar playing bingo!! I only paid $50 to play...so yeah that was worth it.
