Pictures Continued

Grandma and Brock did some napping while on the road. While we were on the Riverboat Discovery, we were able to meet Jessie Royer. She ran the Iditarod in 2008 and we look forward to following her success as a musher. Brock liked her just fine but wasn't too keen on the dogs!
Poor little guy had no idea what to do... so he did what he knows... he cried! She was a great sport and his tears dried almost instantly... so all was well.
Mom and Mary Jane checking out the pipeline. Afterall, what is a trip to Alaska if you don't even see that???!!! This picture was taken about 10 miles north of Fairbanks. I do believe it is the same place that Gov. Palin just gave her speech! (By the way, she rocks) After our Fairbanks adventures, we headed south to Valdez! I love Valdez! I had a couple of things that were on the "needed to do" list. 1. visit the Eagle's Rest folks 2. Glacier cruise on the Lulu Belle! All was great with Laura and Jeff but Barb and Harv hadn't made it in yet so we missed them. The Lulu Belle had just scheduled her first tour of the season and we were onboard!
Mom and Mary Jane on the boat. We were on a glacier cruise but Captain Fred is more interested in finding whales, otters, puffins, seals, etc. That is exactly why I wanted to take them on this cruise. It was my third trip with him. By the way, we did see all the above mentioned!
Brock was fairly entertained with Sitka, his new eagle. It really wasn't the best day to be outside so we pretty much hung out inside the cabin but I think he enjoyed it. I know I did!
