Today was one of the most amazing days of my life. I have never before experienced anything so amazing. We woke up at 5:00 this morning to do some whale watching off the front of the cruise ship. The Naturalist said it would be a good time to spot whales. We didn't see much activity. We arrived in Juneau around noon. As soon as we got off the ship, we went on our whale watching and Mendenhall glacier excursion. We went out in the water on this really small boat. The humpbacks were everywhere. I have videos to show you when I get back of the humpbacks that swam right up to our boat and went under it to the other side. It was so amazing. Total, we probably saw 20 humpbacks in the area. We saw sea lions and a lot of bald eagles. When I get back I will share all the amazing pictures and videos. After the whale watching, we went to Mendenhall glacier. The picture below of Brennan and Dad...you can see the glacier behind them. It was breathtaking. The glacier and the icebergs in the water were beautiful. After that we just walked around Juneau and did some shopping.
Today was awesome...something I will never ever forget.
Tomorrow we arrive in Skagway at 6am. We are supposed to ride the train there. It should be really fun.
More later!
