Alaskan Adventure

Brian and I headed up to Alaska last week for a few days of fun with Daron and Leslie.  After relaxing in Anchorage on our arrival day, we went to Whittier for the 26 Glacier Cruise.
We saw seals, otters, and porpoises.

 And, as promised, 26 glaciers.
 Most glaciers are receding, but there are 12 in Alaska that are advancing...we saw one of those.
 

The following day it was off to Seward and to a great restaurant, with lousy advertising, called the Salmon Bake.
 Best of all, Andrea and Richard were in Alaska for a wedding and they met us for a great dinner and European Ticket to Ride!
The following day we hiked to Exit Glacier.

 Another great trip!  Thanks for hosting Daron!!
