Day 2 with Mom and Aunt Linda

The second day of Joan and Linda's visit began VERY early. We took the train from Anchorage to Seward, and then went on a Kenai Fjords Cruise in Resurection Bay. We had to check in at the train depot in Anchorage at 5:30 AM. That meant leaving the Valley at about 4:30 AM. You can do the math to figure out when Ed and I had to roll out of bed. The girls stayed home for this trip. They got to sleep in. We got home around 11:45 PM or so.

Linda and Joan on the train, ready for a great adventure!
We passed some great scenery that you can't access from the road.
It's hard to see, but there are a bunch of Stellar Sea Lions on the rock, basking in the sun.
Thankfully, near the end of the cruise, a humpback whale popped up to say hello! It put on quite a show for a while.
On the way home, we followed Turnagain Arm, and were welcomed back to Anchorage with a beautiful sunset.

What a long, fun-filled day! Stay tuned for day 3 pics and postings.
