Sunday morning

Waiting to head over to our boat trip to Tracy Arm Fjord and Glacier. We'll be on the boat all day today so hopefully we see lots for the boys to watch.
Yesterday we spent some time walking around Juneau. There was a Native American Festival going on as well as 2 different cruise ships in dock. The boys and were spent by about 1:00 we went back to the room and we all napped for about 2 hours. Refreshed, we headed over to the Menden Hall Glacier which is only about 15 minutes out of town. Unfortunately I realized I had left the camera back at the hotel so the boys and I will probably go back sometime this week. It was pretty neat area. The boys were dive bombed by the nesting Arctic Turns and we could see several mountain goats traveling way up the side of this huge mountain face. We walked down to the waterfall base that is the closest you can Get to the Glacier. It was loud, cold and wet but pretty amazing. There was a photographer there who was taking pictures for a book so he took some of our family and will hopefully email them to us.
We ate dinner around 8:00pm at a local pizza place by the hotel and the kids were down and out by 9:15.
It's still light here when we got to bed. It was still relatively light when we got settled in at the hotel at 11:00 the other night. They say that it is light again at 3:30 am but we haven't really noticed since we seem to be sleeping through it.
