Day 9 - Juneau

June 2
Juneau!












another stellar day - started with breakfast on the pool deck ( yes there is lox on that plate, as i had lox EVERY MORNING . )















Had a little time to head into town.
















and what you do you think Mom finds - - YARN!!!!!!!











then it was onto our Whale watching excursion ! - soooo much fun. One of the nice things about going on a smaller cruise ship is that we had the opportunity to run into our fellow passengers often. After a few days of travelling together it was exciting to all share in the moment when we spotted a whale and then that tail was visible!
























enjoying the sites!














they are real! and i'll admit - cute!























so after spotting some whales the tour operators( who were excellent !) let us know that is rare that we would see a whale breach. they indicated that they maybe see it every 3-4 weeks...with that said - we saw whales breaching !!!

WOW!























just incredible...another great day, great excursion, with amazing energentic tour operators. Not only were they thrilled to see the whales - but we really felt they were so excited for all of us..









On the way back to the boat we got a quick stop to view Mendenhall Glacier. I was just thrilled to finally take a picture on land!!



















Back on the boat and getting ready for dinner .. and LOL posing for the camera!













And after dinner it was the Chocolate Extravaganza nite ! ...

i was getting used to this lifestyle rather quickly.
