Alaska time!

With Andrew's parents visiting we couldn't resist a little Alaska visit.  We drove from Whitehorse to Haines on Monday - suuuuuuch a cool 5 hour drive!  Lots of awesome scenery, we saw a black bear and her two cubs eating dandelions by the side of the highway, drove over the mountain summit, all of it in perfect sunshine.  Spent a few days in Haines checking out the Chilkoot river where the Sockeye salmon were running.  Sadly, the Sockeye run is very low this year and fishing in the river was shut down.  Good to see the fisheries managing the run though.  The Grizzly's were hungry and must have found a better place to eat, but we did see one big mama Griz and her cub which was ADORABLE AND A HALF!  

We also did a very quick one day jaunt up to Juneau on the Fjord Expedition boat where we saw sea lions, seals, porpoises, hump back whales and eagles.  We also stopped at the Mendenhall Glacier where we did a small hike.  The next day we took the Malispina ferry to Skagway with the car.  We had sun and hot weather the entire time, which is very rare in Southern Alaska.  We got a little cloud in the sky on Friday when we drove back to Whitehorse.  The drive from Skagway to Whitehorse is the most amazing drive in the world!  So glad the Marston's got to do it, and get a small taste of Alaska.  Jim said he was very surprised by how lush and hot it was.  

Hope you enjoy our pictures!  I know we took a lot, but we figured that since we always get questions about what it's like, we figured we would go all out for ya's!

The baby bear is so cute! I would live to let it chew my face off with its adorable teeth!
