We just returned from a 10 day round trip San Francisco Alaska cruise. It was a wonderful 10 days aboard the Sea Princess celebrating life with 55 friends, relatives and clients.
A visit to Mendelhall Glacier in Juneau
We were so blessed with great weather and the day at Glacier Bay was fantastic.
Glacier Bay- unbelievable!
We had a great day in Juneau whale watching and visiting Mendelhall. Alaska is so majestic and the wilderness is spectacular to see!
Two whales flipping their tails!
Life on board our floating hotel was such a great way to travel! No packing and unpacking, great food and entertainment and lots sitting and relaxing. I loved the hot tubs and fitness center.

The Butchart Gardens in Victoria were a real highlight of the trip. This 50 acre garden took root in 1904.
An unbelievably gorgeous peony.
The Empress Hotel
In Skagway we took a fabulous hike up 3200 feet to a waterfall that was very powerful and huge.
Devils Punch Bowl trail lead to this gorgeous waterfall.
Part of the hike -Dewey Lake.
Leaving Skagway
In Ketchikan we spent the day kayaking. Ketchikan has lots to see with Totem Bright State Park and the Misty Fjords.
