As a delayed part of our honeymoon we also went on an Alaskan Cruise! It was 6 hours around the Kenai Peninsula. And it was awesome!
Pretty much the whole time the boat was moving I looked like this picture here:
A dog on a dashboard, hair and ears flying in the wind. Whenever Andrew would lean down to tell me something the 2 minutes that followed were him repeating it and me saying "WHAT?" until he would just give up.
We saw about a million puffins, a thousand sea lions, and 6 humpback whales! Which, by the way, are super hard to get pictures of.
My favorites were probably the otters. They were the first animals we saw and they cracked me up. They just lounge in the water all day long. Whenever we would come close to them they wouldn't freak out and swim away. They'd look at us with their lazy eyes and say, "Sup."
The piece de resistance was the Aialik Glacier. I had already seen about 9 or 10 of them in my short time here, but this one took the cake because of how close we got to it. Remember how the animals here are big? Well, yeah, it's not just the animals. It's the trees, it's the rivers, it's the mountains, and it's the GLACIERS.
Now to put things in perpective here, I think I should mention that the tiny thing in the right hand corner of the picture is a very big boat. Pretty scary. There was a 20 degree temperature change once we got closer to it, and every few minutes there was a great big crash, loud as thunder, as ice broke off and fell into the water. Here is Andrew with the glacier when we were still a ways away from it:
What a hunk! Of ice, of course. I'm suprised Andrew didn't melt that glacier.
Here are some more pictures:
There are just too many amazing pictures to post here, so check out facebook for more. The drives to and from were almost amazing as the cruise itself.
And over all it was just a spectacular day for us here in the Land of the Midnight Sun!
This is my favorite picture of the day :)
