Overview of Summer Vacation 2013

I'm going to try to tell stories from our trip before I forget too much. If Doug has more to add we'll get to that. Hopefully it won't be too disjointed.

I think there were four outstanding parts of our trip. There were many more adventures that were wonderful and stories to be told. However, these four stand out because of how interesting and fun they were at the time and how much we learned by doing them.

The four are: 1. Mount St. Helens Museum and view; 2. the salmon hatchery in Juneau; 3. the bald eagle up top the tram in Juneau; and 4. the glacier at the end of Tracy Arm Fjord.

Other top things to write about are: 1. the fruit loop; 2. the snow boarders up top Mt. Hood.; 3. the Museum of Flight; 4. the potential to see whales everywhere; 5. the white pass railroad; 6. the musher's camp; 7. cruising in the fog; and how clean and pretty Victoria was - with such interesting architecture.
