Lance & Rhonda’s Wedding
adminToday was a beautiful day for a wedding…and this was definitely an Elwood event complete with a neighbor carting people around in a mule and local bluegrass band with a banjo player leading ‘here comes the bride’!
Rest in peace, Willy Bob
Although he didn’t always show it, Bob the Gimp loves you and will miss you.
A Carrot For Two
Tucker was enjoying his carrot outside when Cooper became curious and came in for a closer look. Tucker was ok with Cooper picking up the carrot bits but when he got too close, Tucker told him so with several loud barks and a nip!
Dry Enough to Till
It’s FINALLY dry enough for more than 1 day in a row to till our gardens and start planting! We’re going heavy on the tomato & walla walla onion plants this year (for homemade pasta sauce). And we’re having to use starter plants instead of seeds since we’re already so far into the season.
On our way home!
After a long cruise, lengthy lines through customs and many vet bills, we are excited to be heading home today!
Third port of call – Ketchikan
We split up for excursions today – Brad took a trolly through town while Jodi, Cindi & Jean took a kayak trip around Eagle Island. The weather has been beautiful the whole trip and today was no exception. We were able to see several eagles and took some pretty good pictures… At one point we were within 15 feet from one!
Downtown Skagway
After the train ride we took a stroll through Skagway and got in a little shopping.
First port of call – Skagway
We had to be up and off the boat early this morning to catch our first excursion – the White Pass Railway train up through the “gateway to the gold fields”. This turned out to be a great opportunity for some sight seeing.
Second day at sea
Another relaxing day at sea. Most of the day was spent traveling through Glacier Bay. We were lucky to see several wales and seals as we approached the Marjorie glacier. We stayed there for about an hour and watched the glacier “calving” or breaking off into the water. We then moved on to the Johns Hopkins glacier and were thrilled to spot a brown bear on the beach!
First day at sea
Today was relatively uneventful since we will be at sea for the next two days. We saw Hubbard Glacier, hit the buffet a couple of times, and played a few games of bingo before our first formal dinner. Surprisingly, we all cleaned up pretty nicely!
