Our travels

It was a fast six days while the grandparents were here! They arrived late one night and we were up early the next morning to hit the rails!Here are the blessings waiting for Me and Gramma to get things together and load up. My wonderful husband took us to the train depot and dropped us off.  

 Here I am on the train, a rare thing to have a picture of me, I usually take all the pictures.

We then rode the train to Denali National Park Depot. My still wonderful husband drove to Denali and met us. We looked around at the visitor center and ate lunch, then we loaded up in the van and headed south to Anchorage. As soon as we got to the hotel, we all jumped in the pool.  We spent two nights in Anchorage and then headed across the Glenn Highway  to Valdez We stopped at Worthington Glacier for pictures and to see some snow, my dad could not believe there was snow on the ground, we were at a higher altitude!  Our next stop before reaching Valdez wasKeystone Canyon and Bridal Veil and Horsetail Falls. 

While in Valdez we went on a Day Cruise, we saw Dall's porpoise  Whales,

 Here are two whales blowing.

I cannot remember which kind, I slept most of the cruise, I was exhausted from late nights and early mornings.

 And Stellar Sea lions. On the way home they got a good view of the Trans Alaska pipeline It was a fast and furious trip but we had fun and spent many hours driving and laughing. We have so many fun memories, we took over 400 pictures total so this is definitely just the highlights!

May the Lord find us faithful.
