The BIG Day!
... to the harbour, taking the scenic waterfront route. Of course I wasn’t thinking much when I brought only 2 pairs of walking shoes - white thin adidas and my boots. Needless to say for 2 days my runners were soaked and I think I’m going to be wearing my boots everyday. Yay for being a rockstar princess. Haha!

Glaciers & Wildlife
The drive from just south of Anchorage to Seward has got to be one of the most beautiful in the world! In fact it has been designated a National Forest Scenic Byway, All-American Road and an Alaska Scenic Byway. It is so stunning that we have scheduled a three stay on our trip off the Kenai in the town of Portage so that we can take our time and explore all it has to offer!

We camped along the shore of Resurrection Bay, with an unobstructed view of the bay and the mountains beyond it. On two occasions we were able to watch cruise ships depart. The ships backed away from their docks and then turned around right in front of us, so they could cruise in a forwardly direction out of Resurrection Bay. It was fun ...
