Mom and Randy's cousin Loren took the ride with us from SLC to Bellingham. We had to take Randy---fuming, because he hates site seeing---to take in some of the sites in Portland. The temple was beautiful...What else should you expect? We had fun walking up and down the river.
We were able to visit with Jessica and the girls while we were in Washington. Randy's brother came home after we had gone to bed and left before we got up the next morning. We were happy that we got to see them. Rex and Jessica are expecting a baby about February. Congrats guys!
This is the ferry that we took out of Washington to Juneau. It is called the Columbia. Randy says that the ferrys are like mini cruise ships. I could not complain about our accomidations.
People are allowed to pitch their tents on the deck of the ferry. So that they don't have to rent a state room. I am so happy that we had a WARM room, soft bed and a shower!!!
This is a Canadian lighthouse. I always picture lightouses as having a huge light tower but this is not so -- the errector set tower on the right is the light tower. I suppose a honking huge light is not needed as long as the boats pass safely around the bends in the watery roads. 
We had a day to kill in Juneau. So we driving around and stubled accross the entrance to the Mendinhal Glacier. It was a great view and a lot warmer that I thought it would be. The shades of blue and green are awesome.
This was the Kennicott. We hopped aboard in Juneau and rode it to Kodiak. I liked this leg the most because the views were prettier when we stopped and we got to see WHALES!!! Well evidence of them anyway. I was always seeing bits and pieces or taking the picture at the wrong time. Cheniga Bay was the best, there were two orcas playing. I caught the tail of one splashing in the water and they were both spouting near the cliffs.
This video is the welcoming committee for Kodiak. We were driving past and the Eagle didn't seem to care that we were there. I have never seen as many bald eagles as I have here in Kodiak.
