JUNEAU, SITKA, KETCHIKAN AND VICTORIA B.C.
There were three Alaskan ports of call - Juneau, Sitka and Ketchikan. We had a number of different excursions at each of these places so the days went by very quickly. The adventures included kayaking, fishing, biking, hiking, a tram ride, an excursion on a crab boat and a lumberjack show. Allen and the rest of the guys went salmon fishing one day. They had quite the adventure and almost all of them pulled in a fish. According to the eye witnesses, Allen masterfully pulled his salmon into the boat...like a pro!! It was a fun adventure for all of them! Too bad I wasn't there with the camera!!
Our last stop was in Victoria, British Columbia. We visited the famous Butchart Gardens on Saturday evening. Again, the natural beauty in this place was spectacular. We rented wheelchairs for both of my parents to make the trek a bit easier. It is a big place with lots of hills. My mother and Allen had a great time navigating through the sea of people and identifying flowers. It was very sweet for me to see those two having such a great time together.
