We Went on a Vacation...
... and it was glorious.
Here are some photos of our week-long trip to Alaska.

on the boat

the weather was decidedly NOT Alaskan. On the boat it was cold but the sun was beautiful almost every day.

we went to Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau

I took lots of creative photos in Skagway

and we also took a lovely train ride to White Pass

on which I took a LOT of photos, this one being among my favorites

and this one also

we saw the Grand Pacific Glacier calve in Glacier Bay, and it was cold and rainy that day

then we arrived in Ketchikan, a delightfully colorful town

where we did a ropes course and zipline challenge

finally, in Victoria, B.C., we walked to deserve a giant final dinner and I took some nice photos.
Check out Flickr for more. We're so grateful we were able to take this trip and see God's creation in Alaska. It's a lot like Washington, but in some places it was simply grander.
