skagway


















Here are some of the pictures we took yesterday. I have also included the girls trying frog legs! It taste like chicken. We went to a sock hop last night also and Livy danced the night away. Today was another beautiful day. Almost like we are in the Caribbean. The weather is sunny and high 80's. We didn't pack enough summer clothing. They haven't had this kind of weather for many years. We got lucky. Today in Icy Straight (hoonah) was a little town, not much here at all. We spent most of the day swimming on deck in the beautiful sunshine.
Tonight is another formal night and in the morning we are going kayaking. Looking forward to that. Everywhere we look today we saw eagles soaring, whales spouting, and fish just jumping out of the water. We are having a ball. Miss everyone back home. Hope the weather has improved.
