We spent yesterday doing the Alaskan adventure part of this trip. We took the seniors on a boat trip out of Seward, including a trip to Fox Island, and a cruise around Resurrection Bay. The trip was centered on wildlife viewing, and we saw a plethora of species. The list included humpback whales, Steller's Sea Lions, dolphins, mountain goats, puffins, black-legged kittiwakes, and sea otters. The kids seemed to be pretty entranced. We saw a bald eagle sitting on its nest, and a couple of them hovering over the water and hunting. It was a pretty full 4.5 hours, and we had a 2.5+hour ride each way. All were pretty tired by the time we returned to the hotel. As of this morning, some of the girls are still asleep. Today is a museum day, with trips to the Alaska Native Heritage Center and the Anchorage Museum planned. Tomorrow will mark a visit to the H2O Oasis water park, a favorite on the Anchorage circuit. I fly the kiddies back to Bethel on Thursday.
So far we are all still alive, and everyone is still in possession of all extremities. As to possession of faculties, that is another thing.
