Day 3: Tracy Arm Fjord/Sawyer Glacier/Juneau
When we woke up on Monday morning, we went up to the 10th level for breakfast as usual as we were entering into the Tracy Arm Fjord. Breathtakingly gorgeous!

We headed back to get ready to spend the rest of the day in Juneau!

We walked around "downtown" Juneau, I swear to you it was no bigger than Franklin, VA and yet its the capital of Alaska. Blows my mind, considering I've been to Fairbanks and Anchorage which are completely different from Juneau.
 |
| After coffee these bears found an Alaskan bear :) |
We then took a tram up to the top of Mt. Rodgers for an amazing view of Juneau.

Day 4: Skagway, AK
 |
| How mangy is this moose?!? |
We had a full day planned in Skagway. We had a bus tour around town, followed by panning for gold and a lunch on site (yummo!), bus tour up to Fraser, Canada and a train ride back down to Skagway.
 |
| These boys are ready to pan for gold! |
 |
| Melts my heart! |
 |
| We scored $25 worth of gold on our panning expedition, alas Noah just wanted to eat it! |
 |
| Bridge that is built over a fault line and moves when their are quakes |
 |
| Yay! We are in Canada! :) |
 |
| Our only bear spotting was in Canada! |

Day 5: At Sea
Well I have to say that this was the first Fourth of July, that I haven't seen fireworks in a very, very long time. Sad that Noah missed out on that treat...but I'm sure it will be all the more special next year. The ship was decked out in red, white and blue in celebration of America's birthday. And of course so was my little boy :)
 |
| Happy 4th of July! |
This last day at sea was full of ice cream treats, coffee, naps and lots of trivia and games with the family! It was also the second and last formal night. We dressed to impress! :)
 |
| Noah and his cousin Skylar |
 |
| Noah loved our waiters Jose and Gilberto so much! |
 |
| Too big for his britches! |
 |
| Our little family! |
Day 6: Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
I fell in love with Victoria. It was so beautiful and CLEAN! :) LOVED it! We've discussed flying back to Seattle and renting a car to drive to Victoria and Vancouver....maybe one day right?! ;)
 |
| Mt. Baker, in Victoria City, Washington, USA |
 |
| The famous Empress Hotel |
 |
| This is actually a bush, not a tree...weird |
 |
| Government Building |
We had a wonderful trip! :)
