This blog post has been an extraordinarily long time coming. If you've been here a while, you may recall that last summer my family and I went on an Alaskan cruise (see here). However, as we were leaving the first port of Ketchikan, one of our engines broke and we ended up being stuck in Ketchikan for four days, ultimately being flown out in charter planes (such an odd experience).
Because we never really got to see Alaska last time, we decided to go back and try again, this time making it to all of our ports (!!!) and seeing everything we missed out on last summer. We started in Seattle, where we visited the famous Pike Place Market and the Space Needle. Then we boarded the ship, and we zip lined, hiked, and shopped in Ketchikan (which feels like an oddly familiar home at this point), saw whales and glaciers in Juneau, took a train up the mountain in Skagway, and saw castles and beautiful flowers on the water in Victoria, Canada.
Alaska is truly one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen, and it was such a refreshing change of scenery. Highly recommended. I wanted to put this post together so I could share the amazing trip I had and be able to look back on the wonderful memories. I had about 4000 photos from the trip, so I have tried to edit them down as much as possible! Enjoy :)
