Alaska!!!


This is an iceberg, that is by Juneau. The ice has a blue tint to it because it is so dense and there isn't any air in it. It will last longer than regular ice.




This is a waterfall that comes right off of the iceberg.








There is a rocky island that the sea lions go to bask in the sun. when you get close to them they get quite noisy.





David and I got to go to Alaska for a week. A friend of ours has a cabin on Admiralty Island. We went fishing. Caught lots of salmon, saw some killer whales, looked for bears...not very hard or very far from the cabin, because there are a lot of bears there. We also caught some crab and fished for halibut, but we didn't get any halibut....bummer! It really was a lot of fun:o)



On our biggest day we caught 14, on our smallest day we caught 4. The biggest weighed 18 lbs. needless to say we have lots of salmon in the freezer.








There was a pod of killer whales playing off to the side of our boat







This was my first salmon, it weighed 15 lbs.








David and I showing off our big ones.
