Glacier Bay & Ketchikan...

Yesterday we cruised Glacier Bay. It was gorgeous. After breakfast, we went out on one of the top decks and took lots of pictures. The water was so smooth with little chunks of ice floating here and there. The glaciers themselves were awesome. I never did get a picture of when a piece broke off, but it was so cool. When it did happen, the chunk would hit the water, and then we would hear a big crashing sound. Reed wasn't all that impressed and kept wanting to go back inside. Here's some shots from the day...
We ate dinner at Teppanyaki. We all sat around the hibachi table and Reed loved it. He really like Miyako's in Granbury, but this was more of a "show" . Lots of knife twirling, egg throwing, etc. The cook really made it a priority to involve Reed which was neat. We all really enjoyed it.
This morning we docked at Ketchikan. It was awesome - my favorite port by far. The town was so cute was in such a beautiful spot. Mimi, Uncle Brandon & Reed started out to explore town while Pepaw, Hudson and myself stayed behind to see the ships' doctor. Hudson had a cough that was really bad when we woke up this morning. After seeing the doctor, he diagnosed it as a cold (no ear infections, throat irritations, sounds in his chest or dehydration). After we saw the doctor I felt so much better - I had been on pins and needles! Anyhow, Pepaw stayed with Hudson and I met everyone else to look around. We walked along Creek Street which was a bunch of shops built over a creek that was filled with fish. Reed had a fascination with totem poles, so Uncle Brandon took him to the museum and we had to get him a souvenir. There were a lot of things that we wanted to see, but the boat was leaving at 2:00, so we caught a quick lunch and headed out. A few pics...
