Alaska Adventures Part 3

This post concludes our Alaskan adventures.  But I did save the best for last!  Our helicopter tour was phenomenal!  We took off from the Juneau airport flew over mountians, the glaciers, etc.  We got to land twice and get out and roam around.   The photos do not even do this place justice....it was breathtaking!
 This is one of the glaciers we landed on.

 Next stop was the Juneau Ice Fields.  Which is exactly what it is....hundreds of miles of ice fields...it was gorgeous.  And the best part about it was we landed in the middle of this untouched fresh snow...it was incredible!
 Brian out exploring!
 The snow was awesome!  This is me falling backwards into it and then I made a snow angel!  
This was our formal night on the cruise, we got dressed up had a nice dinner and went out dancing a bit. Emily and I danced...the boys went to the casino.  
 Last stop on the cruise was a short visit to Victoria BC.  We took a pedi-cab cruise through town and saw some of the sights.  This was our pedi-cab driver.  
Isn't this parliament building beautiful!
 The Empress Hotel, it was a cool building!
 Here is the parliament building all lit up at night!

All of the Alaska adventures look so very thrilling! The helicopter ride looks like it was a blast. Isn't amazing how beautiful some buildings can be?

Did you see any bears? You look like the traffic girl on channel 9 morning news. Ha Ha
How many days was the cruise? Talk about being in no mans land, a bit like being on the moon.

Hey Staci,
Popped on over to see your pic's of the cruise... wow, so beautiful! Looks like you guys had an amazing time.
And I love Victoria - it's been a few years since we went and I'd love to go again!
