We met our tour and were quickly on our way. We saw many bald eagles during our short drive to Mendenhall and then were met with great views of another glacier. My parents hiked down closer to the glacier while we went inside to learn a bit more and let S use the telescope to see the glacier. It's sad to see the effects of global warming as the glacier used to come all of the way to the visitor center and is now very far away.
We re-boarded our bus for a short trip to the marina where we joined our wildlife tour. The boat was very nice with plenty of snacks and kid friendly activities. We saw 4-5 whales including some air blows and one tail flop & also many different sea lions & a few more bald eagles. S really enjoyed watching for the animals and playing in the activity book they gave her. The whales were incredible.
Back on the ship, we enjoyed a late lunch and then it was Pixar Pals dance party time. We arrived a little early and got a great spot right by where the characters would pass by. This was a highlight for me & S loved dancing with the characters, especially Mrs Incredible and Mike from Monsters Inc.
J went to the new Avengers movie and then we had a date night at Palo, the adults only restaurant on the ship. S stayed in with my dad while C and my mom explored until C fell asleep. Notice, Woody telling everyone to be quiet due to the sleeping baby.
Palo was delicious and worth the extra money - it is on the top deck in the back of the ship with marvelous views and great service. So glad we tried it this time as we had skipped it last time.
Next up, Ketchikan!
