The day started out super early for all of us. The sun started coming up around 3:45 (ish). Cathie was the "good" one and went to the gym at 4:30 am for a cardio workout and Pat and I went for a nice hour long walk in downtown Anchorage.
After eating breakfast and getting ready for the day we were on the road at 7:30 am. We headed south to Whittier, AK. Along the way we spotted an American Bald Eagle (Pat's first cry of the day), a glacier that was absolutely beautiful (Pat's second cry of the day), waterfalls, low tide, some kind of plants (that Pat took pictures of and was extremely excited about), railroad tracks along the inlet, the longest tunnel in North America and lichen (I am still not exactly sure what this is, however Pat is really impressed that it is orange here).
Once we arrived in Whittier, we boarded the Glacier Explorer and were on our way to a day filled with amazing sites.
I cannot even put into words how beautiful the glaciers, sea otters, mountains, waterfalls, an American Bald Eagle SWIMMING, etc were. This is a truly amazing place. It feels almost completely untouched. (by the way I threatened to started taking pictures of Pat crying at this point)
I have added several pictures for you to see for yourselves.
Signing off for tonight as we need to put the finishing touches on our presentation. We present at 3:30 pm tomorrow...which is 7:30 pm for all of you. Please cross your fingers and toes and do a little dance that we knock their socks off. We will present knowing that we live in the best neighborhood in the country!!!!
Love to all!
