Alaska: Part I

Here we are! We've been in Juneau for a week. Here are some highlights:

We barely made our flight from Bellingham to Seattle! But we did, and then we spent a while at Sea-Tac airport eating Ivar's fish and chips and waiting for our flight to Juneau.



We arrived in Juneau around 10 pm and were greeted by this beautiful view from our house:


If you look closely you can see the waterfalls carving their way down the mountain as the last of the winter snow melts.

This is the view from the other direction. Our home-away-from-home. It's suiting our needs just fine.

Benjamin has already climbed in and out of this window several times. Rhett only wishes he could too. Speaking of Rhett, he's almost walking! He stands pretty well on his own, but is fearful of taking those first steps.

Stay tuned for Part II: Bears, Glaciers, and Porcupines!
