Juneau, Alaska..Dog Sledding on Mendenhall Glacier

It was a fun day in Juneau. We took a helicopter ride and landed on Mendenhall Glacier to go dog sledding and it was awesome!!

We had to put glacier boots on before getting on the helicopter.

Here we go!!

The boys wanted a longer helicopter ride but I was fine with it not being longer.

We landed right by the dog camp.

We made it to the glacier and it really was not that cold.

Getting the dogs ready for our ride.

We were able to hold husky puppies that were eight weeks old.

I love the color of the water of the ponds. This picture was taken from the helicopter.

Happy dog sledding!!

After our dog sledding ride, we walked around Juneau and got a little snack. The crab legs was huge and delicious.

We decided we needed to actually eat dinner so we stopped at the Red Dog Saloon to get salmon dip, fish and chips and crab cakes.

Michael and I drank their famous drink called the "Duck Fart". 

They say that Wyatt Earp checked his gun in at the U.S. Marshall's office in Juneau and never came back to get it.

Goodbye Juneau!

We had an elephant on our bed when we got back to the ship.

Tomorrow a train ride from Skagway, Alaska.

A Day of Sailing on the Norwegian Pearl

We got on the ship around 2:00pm Sunday and had a couple of hours to roam around before it took off at 4:00pm.

The boys watching the Royals game!

Walking around the ship 

We found a comfy chair right by the windows.

Dylan put a little Royals sign by our door so our room was easier to find.

The boys had fun playing Wii archery on the big screen.

Ahhhh! We had a towel dog waiting for us when we got back to our room. We pretended that it was Mason.

Enjoying my morning coffee and view.

Good morning mountains!!

A fishing boat that looked itty bitty but I know it was not.

Of course you have to have a beverage on the ship!

Tomorrow dog sledding in Juneau, Alaska!

Seattle, Washington

We had a little over 24 hours to spend in Seattle, Washington before boarding our ship to Alaska.

Space Needle

We took a land and water tour on the ducks.

Seattle from the water

This is the Wizard from the show "The Deadliest Catch".

Dylan had the dang duck noise maker in his mouth the whole time we rode the ducks.

Pike Place Market

Look at all the fish.....

The very first Starbucks

We went to the top of the Space Needle and we could see our ship.

Got on the ship and said goodbye to Seattle.
