26 Glacier Cruise

Dad and I went on a 26 glacier cruise yesterday (Mac went to hang out with Erica!)!  When we left Anchorage, it was POURING.  When we got to Whittier, it was POURING.  We checked in with the cruise and then decided it was raining too much to go walking around so we found the bar.  We had an awesome view of the harbor (and the rain).

We walked in the pouring rain to go back to the cruise for the 11:45 boarding.  Unfortunately (at first), we had an aisle/center table but we decided this was a good thing because no one was standing over us later!  It was super foggy outside because of the cloud cover!

We were supposed to go up into College Fjord but the cloud cover was so thick that the captain decided to take us back to the Harriman glacier instead!  On the way we saw a LOT of animals: otters, stellar sea lions, and porpoises!









Here is a glimpse of the DISGUSTING weather:



The first glacier we got to was Harriman glacier!  It was pretty cool!  Dad and I went on the back deck because there was NO ONE back there!

The next glacier we headed to was Surprise Glacier.  The last time I was at Surprise Glacier the glacier calved a whole lot (where part of the glacier falls off) but this time I guess it was too cold for anything to happen!  It was still really pretty!

Next we headed to a spot where you can see 3 glaciers!  I forget the names though....Cascade and something and something.  It was GORGEOUS!  We took some silly pictures there with holiday signs!  Look out for Christmas cards!

 

 Yes I am standing in the pouring rain.











Dad and I got a little silly on the cruise and decided to do a "series" of "Joe Brew" pictures.  They never fail to make me giggle!
