We woke up on the morning of visiting Glacier Bay, and it was extremely foggy (6am). John went back to bed, figuring the whole day might be a bust..... Luckily, the fog cleared up and it was perfectly clear by 8am...hooray!! It was still overcast, but at least the fog had cleared up!!
Our favorite glacier that we saw was the Marjerie Glacier. Our ship stopped in front of the glacier for an hour. (Notice how the sun came out, just for us!!)
This is the Marjerie Glacier..it's the most active glacier in the area...we saw it "calve" a few times in that hour. So fun to hear the cracking and booming and then see the ice break off and fall into the water....
We also saw this glacier that had a freshwater river running through it that created a snow cave....really beautiful!!!
Some of us had a hard time being patient for an hour and staring at the glacier, so we needed to paint our nails......this polish changes color in the sunshine!!!
We needed to get a few photos in front of the glacier so, here they are....The Peterson 6
The Peterson 6 and the Mackey 2 = FUN
Here are a couple more pictures from Glacier Bay....oh, how I LOVE my camera!!!
and here's Grandpa Phil, just taking in the sights...
and here's the most beautiful thing that I saw in Glacier Bay..... it was worth the walk around the ship to capture this photo!!
Onto Skagway tomorrow!!!
and yes, we drove Andrew back to college yesterday.....his sophomore year has begun!!
