Off to Kentucky..

Ok, so now that I FINALLY put a new post up - the one of our train ride/glacier tour - don't expect any new stuff for a week or two. We are off tonight to go to Kentucky for eight days. Rob has a convention and Caleb and I get to go. So I've never been to Kentucky. Not sure what to expect. I'm excited anyway. Nice to get away. We'll finally experience some summer weather! Yay!! See you when we get back!

Our glacier tour in Prince William Sound

On Monday - Labor Day - we took a 2-1/2 hour train ride to Whittier, Alaska, at which point we boarded a large catamaran and took a cruise of Prince William Sound to see some gorgeous glaciers. Unfortunately, it rained cats and dogs. We loved it anyway :). Here are a few pictures... We saw seals, sea otters, a gray whale (well, some saw it - i didn't) and some beautiful glaciers. That first picture is of Caleb and I on the train. Trains are so relaxing - i love them!! I'm sure on a clearer day those glaciers would have been stunning. We actually boated through some stuff that looked like slurpee consistency. Catamarans are pretty cool - ideal for boating through ice floes and stuff.
