We were finally able to get off of the ship after three long days at sea. Juneau was a fun little town. One of Chris' coworkers had been there a few weeks before and planned a fun "amazing race " for the kids. Chris was a team captain who guided them but wasn't allowed to help with the answers. I was at one of the check points. They had to give me the correct answers and I gave them their next clue. It was fun for the kids to run around Juneau and learn about the state capital of Alaska.
They are reading clues and trying to figure out the answers at different places.
Above is the governer's mansion that Sarah Palin lived in for a while. Then when we finished the race and had a lunch break. (We couldn't miss any meals of course.) Then most of our group hiked Mt. Roberts. It took us a couple of hours and we went from sea level to about 2,000 feet. It was so beautiful and green.
Above are some fresh bear tracks. Some locals told us on our way up that there had been a bear sighting that morning. Yay! Not! Below is a view from the top. It was a strenuous hike for me at least. But it was fun to say I did it! We then rode the tram back down and had fun walking around Juneau.
