Ketchekan


Alaska

May 31 Tuesday 2016
Our trip to Alaska was very enjoyable both with the weather and seas cooperating. Sitka first after a day at sea. Sitka greated us with sunshine. We did the Sheet'ka Kiks.adi native scene first with native dancing. We walked the street of Sitka taking in the Russian Saint Micheals church. Juneau next. The kids did the sled dog tour and were very happy to be able to hold 1 week old puppies and 3 week old puppies. I am sure this will be the highlight of the trip. Glacier Bay and its awesome scenery was very impressive watching the glacier caving. Ketchikan next. We walked the street and saw some great art work but I do not have any more room. The food on the trip was very good. Sherri got us all the drinks(liquor) we wanted card. The entertainment was also great bar service was slow at times. Our last day was at sea. We get a call from our broker that someone has made an offer on out boar.
