My Alaska

In July, my sisters and I spent a week in Alaska without: kids OR husbands...yes, it was wonderful. I guess I should say no small kids because we let my nieces Kayla and Lauren tag along. I can't believe that it had been ten years since I had been back to Juneau, my hometown. True to what I remembered, we were greeted with rain almost every single day. Luckily, the rain didn't dampened our trip and we were able to do a lot fun stuff...many things were even free because we knew so many people who had connections to tours. By the end of the week I had probably eaten enough food for six people and laughed harder than I have laughed in a long time (my face muscles were sore).

One day we went on a whale watching tour and saw

humpback whales, killer whales, and sea lions.

 Another day we were able to board a cruise ship for an afternoon. We ate way more food than I was hungry for (I couldn't help myself...it was all free) and soaked in the hot tub.

We also took a ride in a small plane over the dozens of glaciers that surround Juneau...spectacular!

We ate a ton of fresh seafood...so delicious (Don't worry...I didn't eat that one!).

And made the rounds to all our favorite places to eat...gotta love Breeze-Inn doughnuts.

We were also able to see my Aunt Margaret and 40+ cousins that still live in Juneau.

She even made us cinnamon rolls!

The end.
