Glacier Boat Tour 2009


On Saturday, August 22 our little family took quite an adventure.  We took the train from Anchorage to Whittier, AK.  In Whittier boarded a boat that took on a fifty mile round trip tour of Prince William Sound.  For those of you that remember and for those of you that don't, Prince William Sound was the site of the Valdez oil spill back in 1989.  Anyway, the crew served lunch as we traveled out and then we spent a couple of hours traveling up to two major glaciers. Since we took this trip last week and this week has been really busy, I can only remember that one of the glaciers was the Belliot Glacier.  I can't remember the other one and I am going to blame that on "Mom Brain".  After the boat tour we re-boarded the train to ride back to Anchorage.  Although it was a long day, we had a wonderful time as a family.  We have never had time to do stuff like this together and I am really enjoying spending time with just our family.  I think that we will be occupied for a long time exploring the state of Alaska.
