Part Three

Wednesday morning we headed up the Tracy Arm Fjord to a beautiful glacier. We got up early to watch the beautiful scenery and hopefully try and see some whales. We passed ice bergs on the way up and they were so beautiful! As we were headed back out on our way to Juneau we decided to hit up the hottub with the Plummers, and the other two Rich families. It was so great to be sitting in the hottub in the back of the cruise ship while watching the sights.










A little while later we pulled up to Juneau. We all piled into two vans and drove out to Mendenhall glacier. We hiked a trail up to the glacier for a closer view of it and a beautiful waterfall right next to it. We were lucky enough to see the glacier calve also. The water looked so cold and for Brad and his brother Mike, the temptation was too much. On the hike back to the Visitors Center they decided to jump in the water. It was the funniest thing ever! They went right in. I do have video if anyone wants to see it come on over. It might be a little too revealing to put up on the internet. HAHA!!












After the glacier we headed back into town to a Fish Hatchery and learned all about salmon and why they come running back up the streams. We decided to head to Walmart to get all our souvenirs then hit up downtown Juneau for a little shopping. I was so glad to be able to get back to Juneau. It is such a cute little town.
