Whittier, AK

Saturday Mike, me and Grandma R loaded into the Versa and drove to Whitter Alaska. On the way we stopped on the side of the road, along with quite a few other cars to take some pictures of Beluga Whales in the Turnagain Arm waters. It was pretty cool. Then we continued to the Whittier Tunnel, a 2.2 mile tunnel that you must go through to get to Whittier. It is a one way tunnel that is shared by both cars/buses/trucks and the train. Really cool, next year Mike and I want to walk the tunnel, which can only be done once a year!

Once we got to Whittier we checked in with the Cruise place which we were going on. Once we got our tickets we still had an hour to walk around. So we went in search of an open store, surprisingly only like 2 stores open. So we went to a coffee hut and got coffee and fresh made mini doughnuts... they were so so yummy! Better then the fair.

Then we went and got on the boat for our 6 hour cruise. It was a little chilly when the boat was moving but we had great weather and saw birds, seals, and otters. Mike says if he had to choose to come back as a animal he would be a otter. The sensory was amazing. The Tidal Glaciers are awesome. We stopped and watched then calf, or break off. All in all it was an amazing day.
