I'm Back! Some pics of our trip to Alaska

We had the most amazing time. Alaska is gorgeous and the pictures don't do any of it justice.

Here's one of the many eagles we saw along the coast line in Alaska:

a Seal just chillin out (literally) on an iceburg:

a few of hundreds of sea lions we saw on the rocks on the way back from a shore excursion:

A whale diving under on one of shore excursions:

Us just after canoeing out to the glacier behind us (don't you love the rubber boots?!)

The glacier we canoed out to

An iceburg near the ship as we sailed to the Sawyer Glaciers

If you go in the summer (late July and August) it really isn't that cold. I would say that the average temp was upper 50's lower 60's. It does get cold when going to the glaciers, but it is sooo worth it!!

I loved that excursion, but whale watching was my absolute favorite!!! We must have seen 30 whales.

OK Heidi, want to laugh? I want to take an Alaskan cruise...and he's afraid of icebergs!! I keep telling him Titanic wasn't as technologically advanced as today's ships...but still...nothing.

Then don't tell him we sailed through an ice field through one of the fjords going to the glacier!! He'd be flipping out.

But seriously, other than that day, NO iceburgs were to be seen!

Is there a name for that phobia?!! Does he have an aversion to large ice cubes in his drinks? That actually is one of the cutest things I have heard!!!

I guess you'll just have to plan a trip with your friends if you want to see Alaska!!!
