We took an unbelievable Alaskan vacation to celebrate Chris's Moms 75th Birthday. The adventure started in Ketchikan where we boarded the National Geographic Sea Lion ship. There were only 60 people and a half dozen naturalists aboard. The first day we stopped in God's Pocket and saw brown bear, whales and took a zodiac cruise around the bay. The second day we cruised through the Wrangell Narrows and got our fill of eagles. We then stopped at the town of Wrangell where Auggie got many Garnets and we explored the petroglyphs on the beach. The next day we went through the Sumner Strait and stopped to hike in the luscious rain forest and kayak in the bay. Day 4 was defiantly our favorite. We sailed into Tracey Arm and took a zodiac ride amongst the icebergs. It was otherworldly. The last day of the cruise we got off in Juneau only to get on a plane to Glacier Bay. We spent 3 days at the Glacier Bay lodge. The full day we were there we took an all day boat ride to see the Glaciers. On the way we say dozens of humpback whales, brown bear and an orca! Along the shore there were countless sea otter - so cute!
Chris took a 35mm camera on the trip. The location made taking photographs especially easy.
