First stop Seattle:
The Space Needle
Joshua's father joined one of the street performers and drew quite a crowd
Gum Wall at the market
At Pike's Place they throw fish when a customer orders one
Our cruising vessel:
Glacier Bay:
This was one of the glaciers our ship drove by-our camera battery ran out so we missed pictures of the one that calved-it was pretty cool to watch.
Juneau, Alaska:
In Juneau we took floatplane and flew over some glaciers
Joshua got to ride next to the pilot-he had a great view
The water that was pooled on the glaciers was incredibly blue. The pictures don't really do it justice.
In Juneau we also had a walk around town and tried our hand at gold panning.
Sitka:
In Sitka we took a boat ride out to an island and then took an ATV ride around it
Everything was covered in mossy green
After the ATV ride we visited a raptor center and were able to see eagls, hawks, owls, and others up close.
Ketchikan:
In Ketchikan we got aboard a crab boat-it was shown on "The Deadliest Catch"
Starfish
Eagles nest
Rockfish
Dogshark
Crabs
Octopus
Victoria, British Columbia:
In Victoria our visit to the Butcchart Gardens got canceled so we walked around and enjoyed a city park and the fisherman's wharf
