Summer Alaska Trip - Ketchikan

After a full day of cruising on Saturday, we arrived in Ketchikan on Sunday morning.  It was a stunningly beautiful blue sky!  We were so thankful for this because Ketchikan is actually one of the rainiest spots in North America.  No rain coats for us!

We actually didn't have an excursion planned this day.  We had decided we would instead walk around town and simply enjoy exploring.  It was such a lovely little town; we were glad we did this.





 We met some of the local wildlife.  Ha!
 Of course if there's a souvenir shop, we're going to go in and find all the silly things to try on.
Everyone enjoys this!
 Lily was pumped to buy Chocolate her moose, and Mia was ecstatic that she bought a slingshot where the handle is carved like a wolf.  She couldn't wait to go out by the dock and practice shooting rocks!
 Who are we kidding?  We all enjoyed using it!

After spending several hours walking around (our pedometer measured over 5 miles!), we headed back to the ship for a late Windjammer lunch, and then the boat pulled out around 4.  This was such a great introduction into Southern Alaska!
