Cruise Pictures - Part One - Juneau

Our cabin on the ship. We were on Deck 2.
The room was smaller than DA thought it would be and bigger than I thought. I had heard about cruise ship room so I thought it would be smaller. The bathroom, however, was just a small as I thought it was going to be. The shower? Even smaller. I should have taken a picture.
View of our cruise ship from the Mt. Roberts Tram. Ours is the one out in the middle.
View of half of Juneau. We are in the lookout part of Mt. Roberts. DA pointing out an eagle. Naturally I missed it.
DH and BH. The company that DA works for sent them on the cruise too. DA and BH were working on the same job.
View of Mendenhall Glacier from the Helicopter.
The Glacier Stream
The water is so cold that it's blue.
Not a great picture, but this is the hole that the glacier stream goes into. The guide said that it's so deep they have no idea just how deep it is and where it goes. He recommended that they didn't get too close in case some of the ice broke off. He said that if you fell in you were gone for good. There would be no way to rescue you.
At the Gold Creek Salmon Bake. It was SOOO Yummy. We had salmon, ribs, and chicken. There were some cornbread and salads too, but we weren't there for those! The salmon was glazed with a mixture of equal parts butter and brown sugar with just a hint of lemon. (I asked)
DA looking thrilled that I was taking another picture.
Bridal Veil Falls.
DA and I at the Falls.
That was our day in Juneau. Stay tuned for pictures of Skagway.

Ahh, Toddlers!

We have reached the stage where T is always telling me to "wat" (watch) as he performs some amazing act. It's usually things like throwing rocks into a puddle, jumping off a stair, etc.

I, of course, am always suitably impressed.

A sign of things to come?

My two year old just stole all the change out of my purse and put it in his piggy bank. I was sitting at my desk paying bills when he took my change and ran away giggling. Am I going to have to lock up my purse already?
