What an incredible week we spent cruising Alaska's Inside Passage on the Coral Princess!

If you've seen enough photos of majestic snow-covered mountains and powerful, age-old glaciers to last you awhile, you may need to skip over this post...more of the above (I personally could not get enough of them...hence my hundreds of glacier photos....), with a few adorable critters thrown in for fun.

Day #5 on the Coral Princess was spent cruising and viewing the spectacular landscapes of Glacier Bay National Park.

Just outside the village of Carcross, Yukon, Canada was one of the most surprising sights (and sites!) of the day.

We awoke on Day #4 of our Alaska cruise in the small, seaside port of Skagway...a mighty huge ship in a tiny little dock.

Day #3 of our Alaska cruise, we woke up in the port of the state capital, Juneau.

Our first port was in the charming village of Ketchikan, Alaska.

A very early morning flight to Vancouver via Minneapolis...these Gray grandkids were excited at the airport and ready to head to Alaska!

Very, very early yesterday morning, Kim and I were nearly on top of the world.  

At just a little more than 100 miles below the Arctic Circle, Kim told me we were as far north as we would probably ever go.
