Alaska+Glaciers

We are back from Alaska and I finally finished going through all of the pictures we took.  Between Kenzie and I we had a lot to sort through.  We had an amazing time, relaxing, checking out the scenery and exploring Alaska.
This is our HUGE boat we were on.  The Carnival Spirit.  It was beautiful, the staff was so fun and the food was incredible.  We were with Mike's sister and brother-in-law.  They were so much fun to vacation with.  We were all kid-free for 1 whole week!  No stress, no whining, and no cooking or cleaning!
 During one of our days at sea we cruised to Endicott Arm to check out and incredible glacier.  It was huge and amazing to see in person.  

 On our way back we were able to catch a glimpse of another glacier that was tucked in the mountains.  It had a beautiful waterfall coming from it.
 The icebergs had a pretty blue tint to them that was beautiful.
 While we were in Juneau we had a little extra time so we made a trip to the Mendenhall Glacier.  We didn't have a lot of time but we made the most of it and loved every minute we spent there.  We had just enough time to run all the way to the waterfall snap some pictures and run back to catch our bus.  I was a little nervous on the way there, we kept getting bear warnings and they always told us, "Don't run from the bears, they like to chase their food."  In our hurry to get to the waterfall I was sure that a bear would find me for lunch.  But we made it without a bear sighting.  Although our whole trip we were hoping to spot one or two, no such luck for us though.
 The beautiful waterfall that was right next to the glacier.
